It’s still an hour until the sun rises at the horizon.<\/p>\n
I’m sitting in the cockpit, enjoying a cup of coffee and some cookies. Tjasa had mercy with me, the only cookie-monster on board of MaRe and bought 10 packs of Ginger Snaps in the very, very, very last moment.<\/p>\n
The last nightd, the air was cool. A sweater or a second T-shirt was needed. But today the nightly wind feels good on the skin. Barefoot route feeling.<\/p>\n
In the east the sky got already a light grey color, which will then change via very light blue to the blue sky in places just 5 deg north of the equator.<\/p>\n
The clouds are too be seen in various shades of grey from white to dark grey. Currently it’s a 1\/8 sky but it can become a 1\/4 sky or even more. A 1\/8 etc sky means that 1\/8 of the sky is covered with clouds.<\/p>\n
Recently I got the question why I don’t say a “10 % sky”. The answer was easy. “It’s a custom and sufficiently precise to describe the degree of the sky covered with clouds in terms of 1\/8, 1\/4, 1\/2, 3\/4, 4\/4.”<\/p>\n
In the meantime I can see the thermo nuclear fire of the sun in red peeking through a small hole in the solid cloudy sky at the horizon.<\/p>\n
A night with decently wind is gone and we are again a bit further south and looking forward to reach in a few days the SE trade winds south of the equator.<\/p>\n
Soon the crew will come out of there cabins and we will have breakfast in the cockpit while enjoying the blue Pacific Ocean limited in the east by central America, in the South by the Galapagos Islands, and unlimited in the west until SE Asia.<\/p>\n
What will this day bring us?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
