SAIL, EAT, SLEEP AND REPEAT!
Ok friends and followers a short summary in english. Yesterday we had a
beautiful normal day on the sea starting with a delicious Birchermuesli and
‘fresh’ fruits, dried dates and raisins. After a proper italian coffee
everybody did their thing, reading a book, playing Solitaire, bucket
showering or downloading the weather report. Nothing broken, nothing to
fix. Niflora and I decided today would be a good day to have a Swiss
Raclette as the weather calmed down and we also changed the time (every 15
degrees is a new timezone). Since we are on a sailing boat and we
definitely have wind now it was quite tricky to find a place to make
Raclette with a tea lights oven. The sink in the Galley was the best place
for it. Mmmmmmh it was just delicious and sooo unique - a Swiss Raclette in
the middle of the Atlantic - awesome!
And there we go, it is night again (I have the feeling somehow it s always
nightshift time). Its a bit intense to sail 2h and then only have 2h off -
including going to bed, toilet, get up and get dressed again. It makes you
happy to see the daylight again and go back to the 3h shift. Voila there is
the Birchermuesli again, smile.
SAIL, EAT, SLEEP AND REPEAT!
