Lomvi - Day 16 - Bucket over board drill

Dear zen pen friend,Since Denmark, Lomvi has been equipped with two buckets. About one week ago Niko trew one bucket in the ocean, only to later realise that there was no rope tied to it. Only one bucket left.Today, the crew was taking a bucket bath, now with no rope tied to the bucket, as it does not have a handle. In a bliss moment Kasper looses the bucket to the ocean. The crew were now quicker to react, turned the boat around. Jumped ship to save the bucket. Boat comes around again to pick up the bucket life guard. Great execution, and an exiting bath. We are back to genaker after a day of well being here on the big Atlantic. We are also back on the map, which mean we are getting closer to shore. Hjalmar was, in retrospective, very quiet for a while today. Turns out he had smeared. read more...

Lomvi - Day 15 - Attacked by a sea monster!

Dear teleporters, Today it's finally the weekend again (yes, that joke is going to be going all year this year)! This weekend we have planed an outing to the Atlantic ocean. We have brought a whole bunch of stuff, and considering how comfortable it been here for two weeks now, we hope for another three or four days here in pleasure ocean! Yesterday, when we stopped for our almost daily swim in the ocean. Kasper got attacked by an unidentified creature of the ocean. Long gelly fish tentacles were hanging onto his vulnerable skin as he quickly got back on the boat. He is completely fine, only suffering from itchy scars. It's so hot here now it could have been the epicentre of your local dance floor. But if there is one activity we avoid, like the pope avoids the topic of contraceptives,. read more...

Lomvi - Day 14 - Summer winter

Dear collaborators, It's the 1st of December! Usually this mean heavy rain +3 degrees and 17/18 hours of darkness for us back home in Bergen. However, we are floating along a huge round and yellow sun, supplying us with hot summer vibrations. How hot will Grenada be, when it's this hot out here?Last night while Line was performing an elegant maneuver of switching the spri-boom from on sheet to the other, as we jybe. The boom came loose. Luckily Line was not hit by the loose potatogun on deck. The end of the boom, whatever it is called, was dismantled to all of the 7 pieces it is made of. And it must be a glitch in the matrix that these parts were not feed to Kraken. We stitched the wounded boom together. The final touch of alot of duck tape will hopefully hold the rest of the trip. We. read more...
