After a bigger part of the night running with only the genoa for safety reasons going speeds of around 3 knots, we hoisted the main with reef 1….
…. and MaRe runs around 8 kn at 60 deg AWA and around 14 kn TWS. A NW swell of more than 100 m length and a hight of mostly likely a bit more than 2 m lifts MaRe gently up. Sometimes it creates a comfortable feeling in the stomach. But she also shakes bit in the wind waves coming ESE where the wind builds up another swell. This easterly swell should accompany us from tomorrow on when we are south of the windless high pressure area.

Breakfast was great, like everyday. Lots of talk, jokes and laughter. Today we had additionally a shy guest. A seagull came twice close by looked at us, regarded us in her own way and decided not to join us for breakfast.

A great start into day 3. Let’s see what’s coming up.
