Gin's quest for wind...

Since looking at the weather charts and even
sacrificing a bird ( see our previous blog) did not help and since
Peter
was bored working on his tan, he decided to use
an alternative approach.
The wind gods
appreciated his Benny Goodman inspired impression of the Indian wind
dance.
While the performance was outstaning, these gods
still needed some days to implement our wishes.
Why it took so long
we will never know and we could do nothing but to accept our
destiny.
Finally at last we found a good wind that will
company us until Saturday (knock on wood!).
Probably we will arrive in Falmouth somewhere
Thuesday.
We were just complaining that this ocean is
completely empty, for days we did not see ships or animals.
Suddenly however there was a whale at 4 meters from
the boat! It was apparantly also a little surprised to see
us,
it came closer to about 2 meters, lifted its head,
said 'como estas' (apparantly it was Spanish) and swam away.
Marvelous. And very, very close.
While I am writing this blog, we
are rehearsing a Muppet show play. Our Swedish cook is preparing our dinner
(we are
having avocado as starter, steak with cabage,
carots and rice). The cook made carots fly trough the kitchen.
And of course are Statler & Walldorf very
generous with their comments!
