All well. Had a fantastic night with calm conditions, full moon and nice sailing. Wind dies this morning, and head winds are picking up. Pushing on as long as we can.

Alt vel i Rødehavet. Vi har hatt en fin natt med lett vind, lite bølger, fullmåne og flott seiling. Vinden forsvant i morges, og nå kjører vi motor nordover i lett motvind. Vi fortsetter så lenge vi orker.
