Following our 60knot storm, everything else is seeming fairly
one-dimensional in comparison. But despite the lumpy seas (too bumpy to trust a
pot on the stove), Yellow Watch (me & Vin) manfully stood our cooking rosta
and turned out palatable, some would even say, tasty, food. American pancakes
for breakfast, pizza for lunch and baked potatoes for supper (with a range of
tasty fillings).
We are now stuck with headwinds and no sign of the tradewinds. Still, we
are all comfortable and mostly over our earlier sea sickness.
We saw a large group of dolphins yesterday evening – which stayed with the
boat for some time allowing us to get some good photos and video. The Belgians
are slowly turning into a well equipped and highly skilled documentary film team
and can be found at all hours of the day and night speaking to camera or
videoing the various goings on. They have even started to do some editing
and are working on a soundtrack.
High to family and friends. Bye for now.

Les 60 noeuds de tempete et le ciel plombe font maintenant place au soleil
et grand bleu tant attendu. Apres avoir ete force de prendre une route nord,
nous beneficions progressivement de vents nord-est et bientot est qui devraient
nous accompagner, spinaker en tete, jusque Ste Lucie. Nous talonnons Zenyatta et
son gunboat surstaffe et ne boudons pas notre plaisir ... Yves instaure
doucement la tradition du gin tonic de 17h30 pour celebrer notre bonne position
au ranking general.
Le mal de mer nous a presque quitte Laurent et moi. meme si toute cuisson
mijotee de brocoli et courgettes nous rappelle rapidement que nos estomacs
restent fragiles ... Yves a enfin rejete a la mer,avec un plaisir evident, les
derniers kilos de thon faisande.
Quelques dauphins nous accompagnent et la go pro hissee au sommet du mat
tente de capturer nos meilleurs instants... de belles soiree remember en
perspective
