It’s already 0400 on board of MaRe.
With her night gown she made the last 4 hours only an average speed of 5.3 KN. Slow she became because the wind is since about 16 h weak, only 4 Bft.
Tomorrow morning she will get her working dress, only reef 1 in the main. This will increase the day distance to above 150 NM.
It’s bread baking night at MaRe. I just started to prepared the dough. Water & flour is mixed and are autolyzing for an hour. Then sourdough will be added an all will be folded and kneaded for 15 min.
After that narration, will prepare tea and coffee, because the genset runs to charge the batteries. With winds falling below even 12 KN, my wonderful SuperWind 350 can’t deliver enough to cover all the electrical power needed for all running systems. Main consumers are the autopilot drive, 2 fridges, Axiom and all other navigation system, radar, and light once here and once there on board.
I think to write on a German language report. It’s a translation work from my original English language report.
