Yesterday was our most social night: not less than 6
cargo ships were present on the AIS. Overwhelmed by so many people, we decided
to stay quiet in the night. We were joined in our silence by some dolphins,
passing quickly near the boat and leaving glowing plankton trails behind
them.
Today we are alone again, and even the wind is leaving
us. We try to hold on to it with our gennaker, avoiding motoring for as long as
possible. The calm conditions allowed for a drone photoshooting, giving great
images at the cost of a perilous landing on the boat. Luckily Daniele kept all
his fingers, which he put to excellent use when preparing the tastiest grilled
toast with butter and anchovies ever cooked in the Atlantic.
Seeing the blue sail of the boat from afar with nothing
else but the sea around us was a strange feeling, of the kind that
only pictures taken from outer space give.
