After dinner we discussed the strategy for the night. With a wind of 5 KN or more for 20 min and only short dashes into the 4 KN range, we set sails.<\/p>\n
While talking about a few other things, we felt the wind is increasing. A quick check if this is caused by cloud or squall around us showed that this is wind, which escaped from the monkey with the tin tool, thus really good sailing wind!<\/p>\n
With the good team we became in the meantime, we put MaRe her “night gown” on in only a few minutes. She enjoyed her “dress” and started immediately leaping forward. We trimmed her dress a bit and she ran even faster.<\/p>\n
We finally got the SE wind we were waiting for!<\/p>\n
With this wind we want to reach the northern edge of the trade winds to blow us to the Gambier Islands.<\/p>\n
We not only sail smoothly through the night, the night as such is wonderful as well. It’s a 1\/8 sky meaning that about 1\/8 is covered with clouds. The moon, a bit more than half of a full moon illuminates the sky and the sea. In this moment the moon river is almost exactly abeam on MaRe’s PRT side. The air is pleasant. Not too warm not too cold. Just right.<\/p>\n
Ahead of us we have a few strato cumulus hanging around. Are they waiting for us? Are they ready to give us a speed booster for a while? MaRe is ready for such a ride; she wears her “night gown”.<\/p>\n
Let’s see what will happen!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
