First, I had a very bad night. I got cramps in my legs despite having taken 2 magnesium pills.<\/p>\n
At around 0600 I got up and started working. The main task of the day was looking for tiny spot at the second reef’s eye at the leech. I observed chafing at a spot where I hardly could imaging chafing.<\/p>\n
Inspecting it carefully, think I found and edge which could have caused the chafing. Very carefully I first use a small file. Then a 400 grit sandpaper with which I also smooth also other parts of the eye. At the end I used a 1200 grit sandpaper to polish the hole thing. Finally I had shorten the reef line and tie it around the boom with a running bowline knot.
\nWill it chafe again?<\/p>\n
The most difficult things was the sunlight. During the work at the aforementioned eye I had to take frequent breaks and drink a lot. The sun just 1 deg away from the equator is pretty hot. Unbelievable hot!<\/p>\n
Then I had to store the main sail properly because yesterday we just got it down.<\/p>\n
When this was done could close the sail bag for sun protection and pulled the boom to PRT side to have as little shade as possible on the solar panels.<\/p>\n
During the next break I called my OBM. A break to relax and enjoy .<\/p>\n
Next was the cover on the jib sail. Looks easy but has its tricks.<\/p>\n
Under the sun of today all activities slowed down with frequent breaks and drinking.<\/p>\n
As the last task at the bow, I re-fixed the anchor line and it’s buoy.<\/p>\n
After that we had a lunch break. Tobi, who cleaned all the floors inside MaRe, prepared frying pan toasted bread with marinated tuna. Gosh this was good! And welcome break.<\/p>\n
Because we want to go ashore tomorrow early, we wanted to attach the outboard engine again at the tender. For this I needed to exchange one of the screws holding the outboard motor. Looks like an easy and quick job. It took at least an hour.<\/p>\n
Fortunately it was Friday and I could take another break by calling my daughter for our regular weekly 30 min call.<\/p>\n
Then we attached the outboard engine at the tender. However, we didn’t find the deadman key. We searched and at the end I used the spare key but this doesn’t have a deadman functionality. “Where the hell, is the real deaman key?”<\/p>\n
Now it’s dark.<\/p>\n
Tobi prepares dinner – most likely another sashimi dinner from the big yellow fin tuna v we caught the day before yesterday.<\/p>\n
I will take now my shower starting with a few buckets of cooling seawater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
