750 miles to go which will hopefully get us there by Saturday if the winds starts picking up. ‘Holding thumb’ (Swedish _expression_ for hoping for it)

Last two days have been varied with squalls, swells, 16 hours heavy rain, low winds, and scorching heat.

 

Mat turned 48 the 3rd and Orshi made him a very tasty tiramisu and sang happy birthday in all the languages on board (Hungarian, English, Spanish, French, two version in Swedish). Coral gave him an DVD which during the rain Coral and Emil took the opportunity to watch (In the heart of the sea aka Moby Dick). Great film for those who enjoy old school sailing and killing whales. tihi. Afterwards all Coral and Emil wanted was to sharpen the imaginary harpoon and stay of foredeck ready to kill! (Also see the south park episode about whales, tons of fun). Another thing about Moby Dick is what they needed to do in order to survive, eating people, and since Coral and Emil are the only once who have seen the movie we have already plotted who we are going to eat first. mohahhahahahha Watch out *****

 

Today has been a day of food and snacks for most of us, it has been so hot in the sun so we have been feasting all day and after dinner and chocolate cake we are still hungry. But the only food available was the feeding of the brain, which was made possible with a game of trivia. (Thank you Sarah!)

 

Facts of the day:

We are gaining positions in both our class and overall! Yay us!

 

On our kitchen table we have a map plotting our progress over the Atlantic. Which is both fun and keeps the moral up as it is a lot easier to show our progress rather then looking at the plotter.
