December 5, 2015 – A dark night it was because the moon didn’t show its face before 2.30AM. It was cloudy with now and then a shower of rain. Still the stars managed to get through the clouds and showed their beauty to us. We’ve seen many many falling stars! It was a night of dreams and wishes…
At 4 o’clock today, after singing some songs, Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet left a bag full of presents and poems on deck! We’ve all read our poems and then we played dice for the presents. We ate home-made pepernoten and we were very pleased with this unexpected visit from our dear friends from Spain. Thanks for the presents and see you next year!
Today we made a distance of 207 miles, which is a new day distance record for Shiva. There are still no other boats in sight. We start to become curious for what it will be like when seeing land again…!
