A. Almost 24 hours in the race. E is still a bit sick, same for me, but
we're going strong :)
I tried to include a picture of the board computer, where you can see how
many boats are sailing around us, but the file is too big. The picture shows
that we started fairly late, and most boats were ahead of us. I have not
seen our current position, but yesterday I think we were nr 100 out of 169
cruising boats at the start.
We then started off with a 4 hour shift, 2 persons each, and last night was
easy, about 10 boats around us that we could see. The shifts start
officially at 8 and Hn and I worked the 00:00 - 04:00 and 08:00 - 12:00
shift.
It's pretty warm, the wind did not completely die down last night, so all in
all we made good progress. The wind is justy a bit undecisive about exactly
it wants to blow from. This caused so far 1 little guiding wheel to be torn
of the boat, when a snatch block accidentally openened itself, luckily the
PARASAILOR sail stayed in tact. This means we had to get the sail down, and
repair it's halyard
Hopefully all this works, and will we also be able to get the latest weather
report and a list of who is where in the race. E just let out the fishing
gear, so maybe we get lucky with sushi!!!
