As the wind stayed mainly in 12 – 15 KN for a longer time, we exoected that it will be like this for a while more and decided to give MaRe a more suitable dress. Main reef 2 was replaced by main reef 1 with the genoa standing fully. She looks pretty and pretty fast. In 2021 using this dress she made her speed record on the way between Fuerte Ventura and Gran Canaria; 11.4 KN!<\/p>\n
So let’s see what she will do all day long with her stylish fast dress. Latest at sunset we will put the night gown on her again.<\/p>\n
Squalls are cancelled for today as they require that we put MaRe in her squall resistant night gown before the squall hits us.<\/p>\n
And how did she perform from yesterday noon to today noon?
\nWhat do you guess?

\nThe number is displayed already but to increase the tension you have to read a few lines more. Simply writing down the figure would be too easy. It’s boring stuff you don’t like, don’t you? Thus, now I will tell you in polite words, which I’m always using, that in above string of figures you simple read from left to right the last three figures and you get her today’s day distance at noon.<\/p>\n
In the morning at 0400 it was 157 NM, at 0800 still 152 NM. Thereafter we were too busy with many other things to see that she wanted to change her dress. On the other side, we are not racing but cruising.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless in her new dress she runs in the high 6 KN and lower 7 KN range.<\/p>\n
A compliment to my novice crew. With only a few explanations Tjasa starts engines and steers MaRe into the wind while I’m with Dennis at the mast and he does all to change from reef 2 to 1.<\/p>\n
At the end we trim genoa and main together.<\/p>\n
Now, I’ll ask Poseidon for fair winds in return for the rum he got at the equator. Hey Poseidon…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
