Good Afternoon to you all.
 
Here aboard were having a great time again since the wind came back!
 
Last night the wind decended to a point where there were no longer any sens having the sails up.
And at a quarter past ten last night we droped them all and started the engine.
 
As I was standing on deck in the pitch black night I looked overboard down into the water.
As I had one of those laps you strap to you forehead the light beam followed my eyes.
And there was this big "something " starring back up at me.
A BIG red eye rerflecting the light!
I almost jumped at the sight because it was a litlle bit scary to be honest. haha
 
The rest of the night we ran by engine and there was no wind at all.
 
Right now we are going headwind around 6,5 knots. Board down.
 
She´s preformimng quite well as she hits the waves.
 
Comfortable and steady she goes.
 
We are some 580 NM away from Horta and heading north right now.
 
HAve a nice afternoon you all and talk to you tomorrow.   :-)
 
 
Tomas
