Fin whale

5 November 2016

A nice easterly wind brought us close to Finisterre, where the wind changed into variable and light. The engine had to help us a bit.
Then a fin whale appeared some 50 meters away, then 15 meters away and to our surprise it swam under the ship and blew once more on the other side!
We have passed Finisterre now and the wind has come back, now from the north. So, we hoisted the fore square-sail and sailed on to the warmth.
