Just made the first entry into my log book for the brand-new day.

Beside this I ran the water maker and the tank contains 520 l of fresh water. Also batteries are charged. Generator runs and provides the power for all this.

Outside is the full moon illuminating the clouds that they and the sea appears as in a black& white picture.

I also read and wrote a few mails coming from friends via my satellite connection skipper-cat-mare@myiridium.net, my connection with family and friends.

MaRe is well on course; I just tuned the wind vane ankle from 110 deg STB to 100 deg STB. This gives us less deviation from the route line.

I also have some PC work to be done but I’m too tired. Maybe in my next watch starting at 0400.
