UTC & local time -- 0026 ( July
11th, already! )
The trip Odometer is still ticking up --
3501.4 nm... Which starts to take to my nerves a bit... The
books say that after about 10 000 nm you stop paying attention how
many miles done... I hope we are in the right direction and
will make a landfall before, somewhere...
The distance to destination -- 400 nm -- does not
make any sense at this point. The computer is calculating it as direct
line from the boat position to destination point... If you want to know where
the wind is coming from ? Easy! It is blowing exactly on the same
line, but into the boat direction... So, we have to tack, tack...
And I'm suspecting, that the distance to
destination is keeping to be the same ! ;-) But that is
a pessimistic assumption, and, it is not actually true... When
I check the chart -- I see that we are getting closer... though our course track
looks a bit strange... It is good they did not put 'police yachts' on the
seas yet... Otherwise, I would had been stopped all the time on suspision
of drinking and sailing...
Though everything is under control and going well,
I should admit -- I 'm tired. I would say -- very tired... Somehow,
the leg has been taking a lot of forces... I even do not know
why... Handling the boat is becoming eaiser and easier, as I'm getting
used to it... I'm eating well, and shortage of nutrions -- can not be the
case either... And -- still... I'm tired... ;-)
Which, on its own, brings a lot of topics to
think and to talk about ...
But it is -- next time...
Right now --- feeling the generator with portion
of fuel... and go to sleep...
One more look on the chart -- we are doing not bad
, actually!
Talk to you soon,
M.
