Some things in the air changed today. There is the rain
that finally caught up to us, and the wind that came back stronger but unstable.
There are clouds everywhere, and the see is much darker.
But there is also this sweet but dangerous feeling of
being ever closer to land, with the islands appearing ever more reachable on the
GPS screen.
Reachable but not reached yet, and we shouldn't fool
ourselves if we want to preserve the harmony that we found. Indeed, the days go
by smoothly and time seems to be less important. The events of yesterday
and last week almost feel equally distant and fresh in our minds. In
both cases we felt far away in the middle of the ocean.
The vicinity of land changes that.
We are still more than 300 nautical miles away, but the
weather forecast can now accurately predict the rest of our journey, and the
good speed of the boat make it seem like we are flying forward towards the
Azores.
