Albatros - ALBATROS Day 9



On Sunday the nice weather came back with some wind, sunshine and stars at night. The swell was lower and therefore we were able to sleep much better than the 2 nights before. We are using the time to do different maintenance work, some are reading, some are cooking, the fishing line is mostly out and 2 crew members are always on deck behind the steering wheel. We also enjoyed a Xmas cake from Germany as the first advent started. By the way we are still enjoying Karin's ´fruitbread'. It needs to be hidden from the hungry crowd. The temperature is constantly raising and we measured 24 degrees at night, 27 degrees during the day. the warmer sleeping bags can be stowed away. We are thinking at our families at home, where there are freezing temperatures. Our position at 2.12.2013, 1300 UTC is 23. 21 N / 34. 33 W. approx 1550nm to go. The Etmal is 149nm. With a NNE Wind we can take direct course to Saint Lucia. Yes, St. Lucia we are coming!!! In close to 10 days we should be there:-)
