19/12/11 - Lord Nelson

We departed Lisbon at Midday yesterday and have been sailing, engine off, for 24 hours in th shining sun, so it's already very different from the previous voyage! The Crew have spent the day taking down the Royal sail from the foremast because it has been damaged and have replaced it with the royal off the main mast. They have had their hard work rewarded with a visit from a Minke whale, nicknamed Lady Nelson, who has spent the last 40 mins playing around the stern platform.
