Day 7 Motoring across the High

Boring. Noisey. But nothing for it and the forecasts show no major movement in this semi-stationary blob over the next few days. Brings to mind the Rhyme the Ancient Mariner. Flat sea. No wind. But I suppose some might build in as I get over the top and find east - NE on the other side, but they will be light. Had a sad visit from a lost little bird this afternoon. A female Redstart with a lovely red rump. An insect eater. She didn't stay. The book shows migration from Europe to Spain and Africa each winter. GPS failure.

I'm keeping a watch on Hurricane Michael now at 29N 43W, 1,600 miles to the SW. It is said to be heading NE ( 45 +/-) As such it would clip the the western end of the Azores group of islands. Earlier this season Hurricane Gordon went over the top of the the eastern end of the Islands. Who ever heard of hurricanes in the Azores!!
