Aniara II - We are sailing !
8 May
We are
sailing ! And has done so for a couple of hours, and are forced to continue like
that since our diesel meter is down to ¼. As you can understand the wind
conditions are not the best for any of us out here. We get weather forecasts
every day but the real wind has never reached the magnitude our weathermen
predict, at least not up to now. We have travelled almost half the distance to
Bermuda right now and we all have a great time onboard. People back home wonder
how we spend our days on Aniara. It is hard to explain but we are mostly
strolling around on deck trying to find a good position for liming and resting.
We have individual breakfast every morning but we enjoy lunch and dinner
together. Today we even have had a common brunch with scrambled eggs and bacon.
Last night George had her own night watch, and she did well while the rest of us
slept and dreamed good dreams. We have not been very successful in our fishing
so far, but from today we have added hooks on all our tackles. I hope, you back
home, get better fleet position information than we have received onboard so
far. It might be so that the yellow bricks we have onboard are not of the same
good standard as the ones we had during the last
race.
