Today, we met Pelagria, another sailing boat
participating at the ARC. After more than a week and over 1400nm on different
courses and with different strategies, we met again in the middle of the
atlantic.
Later in the day, we gybed, and a bit later, met
Pelagria again who had continued with two headsails in "butterfly"-style.
Two nice occasions to talk to the crew on the
VHF-radio. It was very nice to chat, hear different voices, listen to their
stories, planning to drink a beer in St Lucia.
A bit later, we had a third opportunity to
socialize: a French guy called us on CHF. He is soloing the Route du Rhum on the
boat 5Oceans. He had to fix several things and solve some problems, so he's
behind, but trying to make it to Guadeloupe on time.
As emotionally as it is to meet a boat and people
in the middle of a big ocean, what astonished me more are the birds that we keep
seeing every day.
