Last night was really dark, with a lot of wind and rain.
Fortunately at a certain point the moon came through and it is was so bright
that we almost put on our sunglasses as we were used to the dark. Unfortunately
this was only a brief moment and soon it became dark again. The stars
were not seen at all due to the clouds. So no astronavigation. Luckily we don’t
have to do that as we have other equipment.
Well this morning we had a new passenger on board. He was
not on the crew list??? Where did he came from? It was Dave the pigeon. It has
been sailing on with us since and entertaining the boat. We send him out
for pizza courier and that is what we had for lunch, some nice pizza in the
middle of the ocean. Hmm, sitting in the sunshine and having a pizza. Well life
could be worse J.
At the moment shift is changing again and the whole crew is
awake for a moment. Sandra and Derek are reading a book or just enjoying the
sun. Michael and Catherine just made us some thee or coffee. Frans is relaxing
and reading his eBook. Rich is enjoying the tea that was made for him. Alex is
on the steering wheel and coping with the wind and waves. Hazel and Josh are
enjoying the sun as well as Mark and Matthias are just getting some sleep as I’m
(Ingrid) writing this blog.
Life is good and we are all enjoying being on the ocean sailing,
having a laugh about the different stories that come up while being on watch.
Heading direction of the cape Verde at the moment and waiting for the moment
that Dave the pizza courier pigeon is saying goodbye.
Well that is it for now and talk to you tomorrow.
