It is 7 o clock local time (-9hrs UTC), we have 200
Nautical Miles to go, wich is about the same as sailing from Stockholm to
Karlskrona.
Funny enought we think nothing of it, that is such
a short bit! The kids cut off 2 degrees from their "Degreecalender" and now
there are only 3 left. The sun is shining warm (already!), the wind is breezing
with only 8 knots and we are making about 5 knots of speed.
Another night has passed, and being on watch from
4-8 in the morning means that the kids will come to you like sunshines and begg
for breakfast. -Daddy, I'm so huuuungry! That starts reflexes within you
and it is amazing that out here I can open a cold fridge and get newly made
yougurth out of it, and prepare a morning meal. Last night we saw a fishing boat
just 5nM from us and I thought it was a funny sign of being out here alone for
so long that Ellinor told me she had watched it for 1,5 hours.
We will see what this day has in it for
us
Oh I just remembered, it is the Swedish National
Day today! Maybe we should let our flag out! (We usually roll it in when we are
far out at sea, nobody can see it and it just gets worn by the wind and the
sun)
