After a busy night under a bright starry moonlit sky with strong winds, squalls, a few showers and necessary repairs – outer jib sheet block decided to disembark in a squall – we are now sailing downwind at good speed on a following sea towards captain’s reception due to hold at 15h sharp come rain, storm or thunder!<\/p>\n

Wind has steadily increased since midday yesterday to 7Bft late last night. Reduced sail one buy one in seriously increasing southerly swell which does not agree very well with the old western swell, chopping up something nasty at times. Meanwhile wind has further increased to 8Bft and I am sure we haven’t seen the end of this gale yet for some time. We are now again down to storm fore staysail rolling to 40deg and moving around or enjoying today’s delicious peas soup. however thick, requires a bit of acrobatics. Quite demanding as sleeping is not easy under these conditions either. The again, smooth seas don’t make a good sailor and I can honestly say that I am very proud of each one of the current crew on board!<\/p>\n
So it goes without saying, that all is well on board.<\/p>\n

We’ve escaped the variables – for good I hope – riding high on occasionally gigantic waves down wind ahead of a steady gale force 7 Bft with some pretty wet squalls of 8Bft! Rolling up to 40deg and having a time of our lives. At least in our watch \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
Nature is just amazing and neither of us on board who is humbled by her beauty and power every day can understand why so many humans treat her with so little respect and negligence as if she was just a commodity. A piece of dirt that can be exploited to the bones. Nature doesn’t need us. We need nature. Send everybody on board of a sailing ship in a gale or more and they’ll come back with a different view!<\/p>\n

No wind at all since midnight. Drifting in a perfectly blue ocean with Mahi-mahi playing under the hull. What a glorious sight!<\/p>\n
All is well on board.<\/p>\n
