Fortunately!

According to the forecast the wind should come by now from 90 deg with 10 KN meaning 7.5 – 12.5 KN. However it blows still from about 125 deg with 10 – 15 KN. So we are making good speed flying the Big Blue.

The sea is smooth; it’s sailing on the nice side. Sky is blue, half of it is covered with mainly cumulus clouds.

During the day, I had to write a bunch of emails and worked on an new office layout for my OBM’s company’s new office. It’s the 3rd office layout I make for her. The other ones I even had to built.

Then I’m working on the layout of my Raymarine system. This because I need a new multi instrument, which needs to be connected in a different way. Thus, first understand the old layout and then comes the modification.

Joe seems to have recovered from a bit of seasickness she felt since yesterday afternoon. Could it be that she always needs to adjust for about 12 – 24 h? Let’s see how it continues. Right now she is cooking, which means she’s feeling much better, though not perfectly fine.

We are trolling again. Yesterday we started maybe an hour before sunset. No bite until it was dark.
Today I started in the early morning hours, changed the lure after a few hours and got a bite. However, it was not good enough, the fish escaped leaving the lure at the line. Thus, we still try catch one. It’s only 1545.

The white horses on the blue sea are just looking beautiful. Inviting to stay at the blue ocean for long.

The swell increased a bit to around 1.5 m. A swell rolling from behind is pleasant.

No fish today until about 1800.

After taking pictures of the sunset below the gennaker, we doused it and stored it away.

Now we are running only with the genoa; this is slower but safe for the night.

So far from today.
