Easy Rider - Bermuda to Azores day 1 & 2



Setting off on the second leg in ARC Europe was just fantastic. Beautiful scenes as all boats kicked off and powered through the narrow town cut of St. Georges, off course we were first off! Though after just a few hours of trimming and racing, the calm and relaxed open ocean life seemed to get a hold off us once again.
As expected, the wind died around dinnertime and our 9 knots of speed through the town cut was now reduced to 5 or 6... Since then the windgods haven't really been on our side, we've been forced to do some motoring though the nights. But what you can't get in wind, you'll get in sun, moon and starlight! Kristian and I have been working our tan on the front deck all day (day 2), and the moon and shootingstars have been doing their jobs in making my nightwatches the most beautiful I've ever experienced!
The fishing rod has practically been out ever since we set off, but the only thing we've caught is two flyingfish who decided to commit collective suicide on our front deck - poor bastards..! Day 2 ended with Soy serving us a well tasting chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, uhhm. // Martin
