Four days ago I was sitting in the cockpit watching the white horses galloping over the blue ocean. I tried to describe my impression but failed. I could not describe what I like to watch so much. This frustrated me. I couldn’t write anymore.<\/p>\n
Last night I got the feeling that the next day I’ll be able to write again.<\/p>\n
I’m sitting again in the cockpit watching the blue ocean. No white horses today because the wind is down to 3 Bft; recently we had 6 Bft.<\/p>\n
A gentle swell of less then 2 m height and a around 100 m wavelength makes sailing very comfortable. MaRe swings a bit when the swell reach her.<\/p>\n
Due to the low wind speed we changed the main sail from reef 2 to reef 1. MaRe said “Thanks! I love the increase in propulsion”. Indeed she loves it and runs about 25 % faster. “Thanks, MaRe, I appreciate your speed increase”.<\/p>\n
While I’m writing i also watch a white booby circling around MaRe once in a while. I love this sea birds, which are accompanying MaRe always when she is far away from land. Recently we had a booby as an over night guest sitting on the bow pulpit.They can sit there and sleep when MaRe really rocks.<\/p>\n
I also admire their flight. They skim over the water surface at a height of about 30-50 cm, fly through wave valleys, and use most likely an aerodynamic effect giving more upward force to fly with less energy.<\/p>\n
They are simply my favorite sea birds.<\/p>\n
We had for a few days mahi-mahi on various ways. This morning ate marinated sliced mahi-mahi on bread. Excellent! Marinating fish is curing process which keeps the fish longer fresh.<\/p>\n
Today, Tobi changed the lure because he wants to catch a tuna. Yesterday, he had for a few minutes a pretty big marlin on the hook. Getting such a fish on board is a challenge. So it was maybe not too bad that the marlin got off of the hook. What will happen in the late afternoon when fishes get hungry?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
