Albatros update (part 5): the sun has sunk, still very little wind. We just had Dresdner Stollen to celebrate the day - thinking of Christmas when you are in the middle of Atlantic is strange but also fun. We put four cans of beer around it, and opened one, as stand-ins for candles. On board a ship you have to make do with what you have. That's part of the fun. Ah, and we are listening to Udo Lindenberg. Somehow we are in a bit of a melancholic mood.
To our left, a massive 4-mast sailing boat is slowly overtaking us, maybe 10 miles away. I wish it would have been closer, that would have been spectacular.
