Magic night!
Tonight we are sailing under the Milky way with all shining stars looking
at Sirit on the large blue ocean.
This night-watch is dry with smoth winds from 100 deg bringing us forward
in 6-7 knots. Beautiful sailing!
It is like being one with heaven.
The half-moon have just risen like a happy mounth, Jupiter follow us right
now in zenit.
I just identified the Southern cross which is very clear and special for us
from the far North to see!
Last night was all black with heavy rain and we were motoring, rolling on
in the swell with too weak wind.
The night whatches can obviously be like different night and day!
Sail on! |
