Since yesterday the crew is completed; Tjasa arrived last night after a long trip from Slovenia.

Provisioning is done. All is on board. The last things we bought yesterday are on board. We will stow them later today.

I’m currently, together with Gaby & Ralf on my way to Panama City to make outbounce clearance.

The wind forecast for next 10 days is good. Thus we have a good chance to reach the equator by then. You will see here how we progress.

As I’m forced to hear in the bus again the stupid music videos, I’m happy that this will reach it’s end with the return bus today. I’m tired to be forced to hear this music with the content of jealousy and love, where women are displayed as accessories or disposable items for men, ready for male consumption every moment.

I’ll enjoy the peace of the wide ocean again.

Tomorrow we plan to cut off the lines for possibly the longest non-stop sail of our looong voyage from Europe to Japan and back.
