Luna - Log 6 - Rock'n'ROLL
Så er der bare vind, skønne vind. Vi har sejlet for sejl hele dagen med en herlig vind på 8-12 m/s fra ca. ØSØ, og det har betydet, at vi har gået med en fart på 6-7,5 knob hele dagen. Der har dog været en hel del dønninger fra flere retninger, så vi har også rullet en hel del. Op ad bølge, kræng skib og glid ned ad bølge, op ad bølge...
Men vi klager på ingen måde - dette er ren rock'n'ROLL, og med en nat der fortsatte i næsten samme stil (vinden løjede noget af, og vi rebede ind for natten), bliver det til 155 sømil i alt for døgnet :-)
Vi kom også i tanke om, at vi havde glemt at fejre halvvejs-mærket, så da vi passerede 3/4-del (og ganske kort efter kom under 200 sømil), blev det behørigt fejret med en lille aften drink (lækker whisky) i den nedgående sol, der smukt kom til syne under skyerne og lyste himlen op i en smuk orange-rød symfoni over det rørte hav.
Vi ruller nu fortsat derud af, og vi kan nu se, at vi bør ramme Bermuda (ja, ja...altså krydse mållinjen) på et tidspunkt lidt tidligt i morgen tidlig.
Alt altså fortsat meget vel her :-)

Wind, oh wonderful wind. With the lovely wind of 8-12 m/s from ESE, we have been sailing with a speed of 6-7,5 knots by sail all day. A lot of swells is still coming from several directions and that means that we have been rolling a lot. Going to the top of the swell, tip the boat and slide down, going to the top...
But, you will hear no complains from us - this is pure rock'n'ROLL, and after a night with almost unchanged wind conditions (the wind died out a little bit this morning and we pulled some of the sail before nightfall), we get to a total of 155 nm for the day :-)
We suddenly realized that we completely forgot to celebrate it when we crossed the halfway mark. So, when we passed 3/4 of the distance (and at almost the same time had less than 200 nm left), we celebrated with a nightcap (a delicious single malt Scotch) while enjoying the setting sun that showed itself beneath the clouds and lighted up the sky with an exceptional orange and red symphoni playing over the splashing waters.
Now, we continue to roll the sea, and we can see, that we should get to Bermuda (and the finish line) sometime during the early morning tomorrow.
As you can tell, everything is still very well onboard Luna :-)
