Day 1 - The Start
24.11.2008

The start of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers was pretty nice with a fresh breeze settling right after the start from NNE with approx 20 kts. Our average speed was around 14 kts ...

During the clear night the wind shifted to E which made perfectr sailing along the coast and also the forcasted refugee boats were not spotted on the horizon.

Our Russian crew was full of expectations and got a firework of shooting stars and flourescent plankton which a made a great green carpet all around the boat. It looked like a cloud of lightning bugs :-)

Now I am hungry ... also sailors need to be fed ...
