This was the first night that all parameters to be checked by Tjasa during her watch stayed within their limits. A great sleeping period for me.
And we made good progress towards our final WPT to go around the Galapagos: 6 deg S and 90 deg W. Once we have reach this point, we can be sure that we are in the SE trade winds.
On board we had again board made yoghurt by Tjasa. Dennis and Tjasa enjoyed it in their muesli, I made myself a fruit yoghurt.
Dennis still goes for his big catch but was not successful so far. He caught today a king mackerel of about 40 cm but set it free again. He wants a 1m mahi-mahi or a tuna of the same size!
And today is bread baking day. Yesterday I made already a dough of 1600 gr flour. While forming the breads today I thought I could increase the amount of flour in 200 gr steps to 2 kg.
Theoretically this would increase the number of days be without baking by calculated 25 % and would reduce the consumption also by 25 %. A big chunk of gas saving.
Let’s see how all turns out with the next time making bread.
