As Salsa is making good speed over ground on an
almost flat sea we are preparing the coming fest.
When we cross the equator there will be some
ceremonies. Everybody is busy with costumes etc.
Will be back with a report on how it
went!
O, by the way, last night we caught a big bird in
our fishing line, not funny, I hauled it in and the ships doctor got it
loose.
Now we hope it will stay away from us again. The
amount of birds that actually stop on the boat is amazing.
Our beautyful white mainsail is full of bird.....
Yesterday Erika spoke with another boatchild on the
short wave radio for the first time, she was excited. Not only must she speak
english but also hear past all the noise in radiowaves.
The sailing last night was like a dream, seas
became flat but the wind remained at 10 knots, and we could speed close hauled
at 6 knots or more, had nothing to do but look at the horizon and read a book or
catch a nap (maximum 20 minutes!)
