We have just crossed the 100 nm boundary to
'Sardinia point' -- the point, where, hopefully, the weather permits and
we will adjust our course to Mallorca. I do not know why, but 'les then 100 nm left` -- has been
always bringing some kind of excitement to me on all passages.
We are doing OK --
-- the wind just a bit stronger, and veered a bit
more -- now, it is more in alliance with direction(s), predicted by
models.
-- Not strong though, and we are doing -- very
comfortably -- about 4 knts... Exactly the case:
'...
-- What so difficult in sailing ? You are
sitting and doing nothing, the boat is moving...
...
"
Right... But today, it seems the case.
We have a visitor -- a small bird, which is
flying around the boat, and then coming back, and rests on the rail. Is
he/she lost ? Or just taking a free ride ? No idea...
All for now.
Talk later.
