We have been sailing since 3.30 this morning,
which was a great relieve after more than 24 hours of motoring because of lack
of wind. This is so much more pleasant.
The men are even putting the rods out again to
try and get some more fish.
We had a little visitor yesterday. A little bird
appeared in the cabin. No idea where it came from, we were many miles away from
land. It seemed quiet lively and not shy at all. We tried to feed it but it
would not eat anything. It did drink some water. It tried to fly away a few
times, but kept coming back.
In the evening it found a little corner on the
bookshelf to sleep, but unfortunately we found it dead this morning. So it had a
burial at sea.
