…we are sailing again. SOG is around 3.5 KN with the tide slowing us down by about 0.4 KN.

Yes, it could be faster, but we are happy that we could get some wind from the monkey with the tin tool. Due to the no wind in the last days, the wind waves are about 25 cm only and the swell is nicely long with a height of less then a meter.

The sky is typical one for areas around the equator. White clouds at the horizon appear as covering the sky to a larger extend but at the end of only looks like that out of the distance. The sky is carefully dotted with white clouds, cumulus type but also a few stratocumulus. In front of us is a squall but that should move much faster than we can sail. But we keep an eye on it.

Tjasa who hand steered MaRe this morning very good for about 2 1/2 h on a running course (difficult to steer) went after breakfast to bed. Her current watch started at 0300 and ended at 0700. We rotate every week the watches.

So let’s see what this day will bring us.
