In the Caribbean – Day 3 and 4

Only one complained about too much wind, now it's suddenly too little. With screw speed and beating sailing we slowly bobbing towards our goal. This is already something on the morale :-(, especially, because for the weekend absolute doldrums is announced. Since then you have probably serve the machine, aber im Moment versuchen wir es noch tapfer mit Segeln 🙂
After all, now seems more often the sun and you could be in the cockpit make yourself comfortable, if our CESARINA not so would have a special habit. If you sit outside, relaxed without oilskin and best yet with a good book, will they always somehow appropriate shaft combination, to make a capital play a saltwater shower. Das ist wirklich gar nicht nett 🙁 Und immer ohne Vorwarnung. Heute hat es Dietmar und Onkel Tom erwischt 🙂 , I was below deck erfreulicherweie. The two looked like fresh bathed cats and were as excited.

Yesterday we had the first time on this Ueberfahrt visit of dolphins. This is always a great spectacle. Otherwise we have but so far not taken any other sea creatures, neither flying fish nor any other. Our first day's fishing was therefore not crowned with success. Actually that was quite appropriate as, because our vegetables and fruit had decided, Today all to mature simultaneously. As if they were colluding ?! Jetzt gibt es die naechsten Tage erstmal Obstsalat in rauhen Mengen 🙂 und morgen wird das Gemuese fuer die naechste Woche vorgekocht. The planning and storage of fresh supplies is a real challenge. We had to re hung up a Gemuesenetz. But not like the buzzer back under the solar panel, but this time in the salon. This Gemuesenetz seeks its occupants clearly after life. Although I had placed in specially Blass foil to protect, were three tomatoes were almost halved in the last days by the Netzfaeden. Wahrscheinlih it was just too cluttered and the violent movement of the ship did the rest to. Only my neatly individually wrapped in aluminum foil carrots spent the first week in optimum shape survived. A really good tip from the ARC Seminar.
I'm going to go and look back out times, whether there are new irgenetwas. At noon today we actually had again another ship on the AIS, the only 15 Nautical miles. Given the high volume of traffic should therefore be vigilant. Perhaps it is indeed a small Squal past and still brings a little wind with, that would be the moment a welcome change.

    We wish you a good Ueberfahrt. Too bad we have no radio contact. Bin with yachts where amateur radio operators on board are connected.
    Best Wishes
