After nineteen days at sea my able-bodied crew
enjoyed their first fresh-water shower. The prohibition of water
consumption has been lifted. We only have 244 miles to our goal and one
full tank of fresh water. The fish seem to be biting but the hooks are too
small, so they get away quite easily. And we ran out of bigger,
sturdier fishing hooks. Early this morning I baked the last of the
bread for my crew. Nothing much is happening on board. The Spalax is
rolling along at a steady pace of 6 to 7 knots. At first we thought of speeding
up by running the engine, or slowing down by decreasing the sail area, to arrive
during daytime, but decided against it. We will keep sailing as usual, and will
probably arrive shortly after midnight, Sunday
morning.
