847 nm miles passed.... 
Today is a week as I  left Antigua...  And the funny part -- I have to check with the log in order to confirm -- yes, a  week...
 
It is a known  fact, that as we are living on land, living 'normal life' -- a lot of things are taken for granted.  Example -- you may answer the question ' Where are you ?' at any moment.  With a different scale of details.. At home, with friends... at the table in the office... Etc, etc, etc. Even if you are within completely unknown place -- like say, a new town for you, like Paris, Madrid, London, Moscow... You can easily describe where you are...  It is so natural -- to know where you are,  in time, in space...  at any given moment. 
 
Plesently, I'm in the Ocean.  The GPS gives me location where I'm on the surface of the Earth...  Compasses gives me direction ( actually, directions, each is slightly different ;-) ) to the North... Which in its own turn, migrates every year anyway... 
 
I look around... 360 degrees around -- blue water, merging with the horizon...  On top -- blue sky ....  Left, right, forward, behind -- all the same...   And even if I know where the North, where the Sourth -- does not help much...  
Canadian Government cannot agree on simple question  which country I'm in...  Russian government does not care,   the rest of the world -- does not know about my exsitence...  I say I'm going to Azores... That is fine... But what if the belivers in theory that the Earth is flat are right?!  ;-)
 
I love the books and the moves, which adults wrote and make for  themselves,  pretending that they are for the kids...   Pirates of the Caribbean -- is one of them...  I can quote my favourite personage -- Captain Barbossa -- saying ' Before you find where to  go, you should get completely lost.. ' ( Sorry, if the wording is a bit different... ).
 
And  that is where I'm now -- being totally lost,  is space, in time...  And Barbossa's saying woks, magic happened!  My to do list and plans are growing faster then I can put them on a paper! ;-)  Magic of the Ocean, of the long passage, of persons left on remote shores... But enough of  that phylosophical nonesence...
 
We are fine.   We  -- SV Eleonora  & myself -- are moving 036 T course,   slowly progressing NE direction  ( wherever it is pointing... )  I can only run one sail -- gennaker for now -- since the wind is exactly from behind...  It is only 12-13 knots of wind... and our progress at the moment  ~ 5 knots...   Though it is slow --  Eleonora gliding gracefully over nearly flat surface...  Dark sky with stars on top,   the Moon -- or whatever left from her  --- in  a couple of hours...
Tomorrow and Friday should be the same -- if the weather tale teller is right... But that is tomorrow, it does not even exist yet... ;-)
 
The pork is in the oven... Bottle of wine in the fridge...  Salad... ;-)  Sounds of waves...  Sound of the pen on the scratch pad, on which I'm writing my 'Great Plans For the Future..'   Does not matter  how real they are...   We are in wonderland of the Hight Seas...
 
We are fine!
