Ahoy!
Today we have been out at sea for three days. During this time we have had the pleasure
of celebraiting christmas two times. On the 24th, Swedish christmas. It was celebrated strict under the traditions,
Disney at 1500, dinner with fish as starter and meatballs as main. Unfurneltly had our christmas ham swimmed away.
"Var Julskinka har rymt" but we were furtune that we had celeri instead.
Today the 25th we celebrated chrsitmas again, we oppened our presents.How knew even santa found us here in the middle of
the Atlantic ocean... However a special thanks to Anne at home whom had a someting to do it. Thanks!!
Some of you may notice wile cheking our route that we have been heading more south than west. Don't worry,
we are well awere of this. The passageweather has an big low front just north frome us that is killing all the wind.
Our tactic is therefor to sail bellow this and after tomorow we will start heading west with great conditions.
For you at home who is more intrested about rain, sun and waves, than the wind and sailing. We can inform you we have had
sun all the way so far. Almost no clouds at all. The waves is around 2 feet high, and during the night of the 24th the sea was like an mirror.
Simontainlsy we had dolphins whom were swiming around a playing around the boat. The ocean were cover with tracks of the
dolphins routs whom sparkled with the ilumination "marseld".
The Captain and the Crew of Zimbaloba wants to which you all a Happy Christmas!
