In the Caribbean – Day 1 and 2

Now we are already for more than two days on the road and slowly comes to our board daily routine. Seasickness has this time completely spared me, For that I had taken a thick cold on the journey. But no matter, how the child is called now, lot was once again not to start the first two days with me. Good, Dietmar that time had support from Uncle Tom. So not everything remains alone at his hanging and I was very relaxed during the day to stay in bed.
The weather was of beginning of the journey to a little exhausting. Much wind had built up around the islands a short and steep wave. Our CESARINA would still rocked properly despite its size from right to left. Time and again, some not optimally stowed objects, to become independent practice and to make in Salon Pantry or mischief. Especially beratungsresistent was a pumpkin, the partout not want to stay in Gemuesenetz. After his third escape attempt I've locked him in the fridge. Das hat er jetzt davon 🙂 Sonst wird das nachher nichts mit der Suppe 🙂
Since the launch we have already 365 Back down nautical miles, but there are still whole 2337 Nautical miles left. Nevertheless, we make no stress and have the trip can easily take it easy. All our equipment makes up good now his ministry. The autopilot has received a small update also again on Gran Canaria and has been restored completely. Das ist schon ein tolles Gefuehl 🙂 Wasser haben wir auch schon nachgefuellt, only the wind vane is still waiting for their assignment. But that we want to tackle only when calmer weather conditions.
Otherwise, we have to report hardly new. The first hour of my watch is already rum and we run up to ten knots towards the west. Outside it is almost as bright as day. The moon conjures an eerie atmosphere. Of the 260 Ships are only two to see on our plotter. As fast as the huge field has spread. Occasionally one sees a sail or a position light on the horizon, otherwise we are on our own. But according to the daily radio round we know exactly: We are not so alone :-), Auch wenn wir sie nicht sehen koennen 🙂
