Yesterday, after practicing French for 2 h, starting at 0500, I got up and did my fitness training. I always feel good thereafter. Quick shower, prepared my breakfast muesli, and opened my PC, While eating my muesli, i started reading emails.

I was locked with PC work all day long. PC work was progressing, but it was tiring working all day long in front of a notebook. At home in my office I used 2 large monitors, an external keyboard, and trackball, making PC work easy. But on a notebook all is small. I only can, with 2 shortcut keys, get 2 application windows side by side. A nice Linux functionality. I say Linux because that’s what I know, because I haven’t really touched a Windows or Apple PC since more than 10 Linux years.

Back to the PC work day.

Around 1700 I stopped because my eyes hurted. I didn’t want to work with my PC at all anymore for that day.

For dinner I had the 2nd portion of a lentil stew and prepared the rest of a the lettuce as a salad, enriched with a tomato, and small cubes of Emmentaler cheese. With board baked bread it was a delicious meal I had in the cool atmosphere of the cockpit. I sat s bit more in the cockpit before I did the dishes, took my shower and she l went to bed.

Today, I decided I not work beyond 1100 at my PC. This was good. I could get almost all done until then. A few mails are left. Tomorrow, I thought, is another day. I got a bunch of things done on the boat including getting 80 l of diesel in 4 jerry cans on board. This work is not that easy. The 4 jerry cans need to be hand carried for about 200 m from the fuel station to the tender. When loading the jerry cans into the tender, another sailor, who was just around, gave me a hand.
At MaRe I know already the best way to get the jerry cans, weighing almost 20 kg each, safely on the lower part of the stern while the tender and MaRe move in a swell of half a meter.

For dinner I made fried potatoes with a bit of chorizo and fried eggs. A tzatziki with board made yoghurt was a great meal. I watched another part of “Scenes of a Marriage” am incredibly movie by Ingmar Bergman an director.

When I went to bed I felt tired but it was a better better tiredness then the one on the day before.
