Although the day was a very relaxed one, it was bit a bumpy ride. There came a second swell from around N creating with the main swell from ENE a choppy sea.

We tried various settings to optimize MaRe’s response to changes in wind directions. At the end we felt good with the settings we are using now. As it is with every automated system, it reduces manual work, but requires a lot of mental work. This mental work we did today. It can only be done while at sea.

The sun is down behind the horizon, the sky is metal blue and the high flying clouds reflect the not diffracted reddish part of the sunlight.

Night can come, MaRe and it’s crew is prepared.
