Day 7 noon-to-noon run was a slow 125nm. Day 8 was better at 143nm.
This morning we had a sunrise greeting from a large pod of dolphins -- must have been 40 or 50 them. Not sure what type of dolphin they are, being smaller than most we've seen. They liked to leap out of the face of the waves in groups of 2 or 3 as they chased our stern. Surprisingly not a single one had a mask over it's blowhole -- being in international waters, I guess it is OK.
We are about 120 miles out of St Helena at sunset. Should be able to arrive before sunset tomorrow with a little luck. The crew is ready to skip having to do night watches for awhile.
