Good morning!
Yes, with the sunrise -- we tacked again. On port tack now, doing better speed towards Grenada ( I guess... ).
Grenada is 127 nm from us... I like the number... But I'm sure those would not be the easiest ones to gain.
On a map 'below us' -- Isla de Margarita. ( I wish I could go there... But that is probably the only place on which everyone agreed -- do not go! It is presently a 'no man land', with no law, with no order... ) Too bad...
Too bad because that is where all my sailing started in 1997... Nora and I came there on vacation, and she booked the day sailing trip for my birthday... Oceanis 411... Captain JP -- the first person I met who actually traded his life on land for the life on the Ocean...
We agreed with Nora that one day we will go travell and may be sailing... Well...
We are sailing. Odometer is telling that the distance made from the begining of the trip -- 974.7 nm. VMG should slowly get better on that tack too... One more night in the ocean ahead of us ? Who knows... We will see. Manana. ;-)
Meantime -- coffee!!!!
Have a great day,
Michael.
