..wind down, sail down, wind up,…<\/p>\n
It’s always the same old story and it happened today as well.<\/p>\n
However, now we are comfortably sailing with a STW of around 5 KN. The only thing we have to do is to reset frequently the wind vane angle of the autopilot because we often get wind shifts.<\/p>\n
After quiet some tacking before lunch time, we had to get all sails down as there was no wind at all. But not long after we had the sails down, I saw the wind was suddenly back to 4 KN. We looked at each other and decided to get the sails up again. This was a good decision!<\/p>\n
As the ECMWF forecast model looks like, we can keep the sails for quite a while as they are because in the next 48 h, the wind turns on steps around to to E and as we sail in the wind vane mode, MaRe will turn around the same way.<\/p>\n
Boh fixed today another lunch with boiled eggs. This because we still have plenty of them and Bio-security of NZ will confiscate them. So we’ll have another few meals with eggs and I’m curious what other recipes Boh had in her huge collection.<\/p>\n
Temperatures are really low. Last night I recorded 19 degC. A NZ friend wrote me today that “NZ summers are cooler then the tropics”. I fully agree! I’m, being used to temperatures around the equator and wear now a fleece jacket and a wind breaker, and Boh runs around on a T-shirt.<\/p>\n
Currently I’m trying again to catch a fish, which doesn’t disappear with the lure. As a lure I’m using today a diver, which goes a bit deeper into the water. From now (1630) on until it’s getting dark it’s a good time for successful trolling. Fishes will be looking for their dinner and if we are lucky we finally can haul one into Boh’s frying pan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
