Adrienne - Bergfest
November 30th, 2023
Blog authors Bernd, Werner, Peter
The day ended with a hearty mountain festival and celebrated worthy... with Cola Zero and Seven Up. Bergfest has nothing to do with Kaiserschmarren and hut fun. What is meant is that the remaining route to the Caribbean is now shorter than the one already covered.
To celebrate, the meal included tuna steaks, fried pumpkin and rice and beans. For dessert, Tanja and Thomas had conjured up a fruit pudding cake to celebrate the day.
As soon as all the food was eaten, Peter raised his voice to a toast in which he dreamed out loud about a glass of really beautiful, cool, blonde... SEVEN UP (caffeinated lemonade).
The laughs were with him and the crew's facial expressions reflected a certain bewilderment. Dreams are a beautiful thing.
The day itself passed without any special events. The trade winds push the Adrienne inexorably towards the Caribbean. Today, a small “team of experts” managed to calculate the current location independently for the first time using a sunshot. The non-experts watched enthusiastically. As a result, the calculated location was just 3 nautical miles from the location determined by the GPS.
We often receive questions from you about life on board during the trip. We would like to give you some answers here.
Sleeping on board in rough seas: You quickly develop the feeling of settling into your berth in order to have a stable position and not let your body roll back and forth. The noise can be largely blocked out with the help of earplugs. On the contrary, the regular ship movements even have a soporific effect. Determined by our waking cycles, we arrange ourselves to sleep several times a day, but at different times. This means you always have a good night's sleep and are refreshed and, when added up, we sleep more on board than at home.
What is the feeling like being far away from land and with the deep water under the boat?
Frankly, none of us feel anything threatening about it. The boat gives us a feeling of security and protection.
This marks the end of another day at sea and we now say goodbye into the night with an air temperature of 28 degrees.
