Sam Davies’ daily log - Iceberg Dead Ahead!
Hello! Yesterday I saw my first iceberg! It is a sight that tears your emotions in two - half of you is in awe of such an amazing sight, with such intense blues and whites, whereas the other half is terrified! What if I hadn't seen it or it had been night and I'd been half a mile to the South? But, these thoughts aren't worth considering. The iceberg was almost 100m long I guess, although that is just the part I could see. Luckily my camera worked, and I got some good photos, so when I am back at home in front of the fire I can really appreciate the beauty. Until then, I hope that was the last iceberg I see this race. Now Roxy is hooning along at break-neck speed! We put the indicator on and we're in the outside lane overtaking Pindar - sorry Brian! I'm making the most of the NW wind and relatively flat sea in front of the low that is coming up behind us. It is like being in a washing machine (on a cold cycle) outside, so when I go on deck I wear my drysuit, and get things done as quickly as possible! Enjoy your Sunday! Sam x
