Maxim 46 - Log Day 21 250NM

Sunday morning, another hour back in time and since NEIT left us with full speed when the wind picked up we were alone for 2 days. When all of the sudden 2 whales joined us and stayed around the boat for at least 30 minutes. Circles around the boat, under and coming up in the waves. Magnificent! We have seen many dolphins on this trip but this is so special!
The fatigue kicked in a bit the last couple of days and this brought a smile back on our face.

Lisa is entertaining us with dress up parties, rollplays with her imaginary friends and wrestle games. In return she gets some yoga and work out and free music sessions.
The ukelele and guitar are used now and then, so we will keep practicing when we are in the Caribbean.

The sea temperature is getting warmer and warmer now, almost 28 degrees and it is so tempting to take a swim. Hope the first arrivals have splashed in already!

We are keeping a close eye on the YB tracker to see where everyone is and now and then we have some VHF contact with other ARC boats. Very nice to hear other stories.

Still very greatful no big issues on board and that everyone is safe and healthy. Only 250nm to go. A couple of nightshifts with the most amazing starry skies. I even could make a photo of it and we can’t wait to see the Pitons rising up from the sea.

See you soon!
