Blue Moon - day 22 blog

Good Morning dear Daylight
Its maybe my last blog entry for this trip…after the trade winds picked up yesterday night. we are back on full sails, what a pleasure and a wonderful power inside awakens.
The winds pushes us again from behind with 12 to 15kn and we are so ready to hoist our kite again…
But bevor there is some importend fluid to give our old lady blue moon …give a guess…
Yes she needs the magic Diesel to run our engine.
So far we have used from our main tank about 170l and filled with another 40l to run the rest of our trip. But we keep 20l for emergency run and also to motoring in to Saint Lucia.
So Thalita is at the helm exactly at spot where we should fill in the diesel,grrr…
Of course she can move to the side and helm from a different angle.
We got to grab out two canister out of the back locker at the stern, the far end of our boat.
Like always ist not just picking and doing the job nicely in working position…its again a master piece in moving material, squeezing and holding yourself in position while the boat is moving from one side to another.
We put some soap around the hole where the diesel needs to go and put the paper towels around …in hope of not spelling one drop of our survival fluid…to communicate…loading batteries and moving in emergency’s.
It take us at least an half hour to fill in 40l of diesel in here thirsty mouth, smile …
Finishing this job and put all back on place in a cool teamwork makes it even more fun
Ready and motivated for the the last upcoming miles,juheee
We are all tired and looking forward to find land in the Caribbean sea, we still did not found the edge of the world and the door wich supposed to be there… you see our minds need soon some land…smile
As we finish this night there are 235 nautical miles to go, wind looks good …so its 5.45 in morning…put up the kit folks and get some speed, jehaaaaa.
Saint Lucia we are coming…
Happy day to all and biggest hugs
