November 24, 2015 – It’s the second day of our crossing. The moment I am writing this, Inge just baked a bread, Herman and Daan prepared the fish that we caught yesterday and which is now smoking in the oven, Mariette is taking a nap after her yoga session, and Gerard is outside keeping an eye on the sails and the auto pilot. Last night went very smooth, we are getting used to the shifts of 3 hours up and 6 hours of sleep, it’s very doable. Also we start to get used to the noises and the rock and rolling, we start to get the sea legs!
Today the sun is shining and we have between 15 and 23 knots of wind. We are sailing goose winged (melkmeisje) and the waves are very pleasant, not too high. The distance we made today (day 2) is 177 miles.
We’ve just put the clothes of Gerard to dry in the sun because of the over deck water of yesterday that had soaked his wardrobe.
Now’s it time for lunch, the fish is ready and tasting wonderful, hasta manana!
