Yes we have got a little gentle wind today. Tuched 6 knots /the boat) a couple of times. At least enough that we today can run the engine just for chargeing the batteries!
And the wind made us able to sail into the tropics! Which means we are south of latitude 23.
The most of the day is filled with practicalities, more than we expected. We read a little, but just a little. We thought we should have a lot of time both for reading and writeing... Well we have only just adapted to the watch routine. Takes four days. Maybe there will be a poem or two.
The days have been beautiful. During the night, dolphins come and say hello. In the morning they come and say good morning. Yesterday a little bird came in the cockpit to have a rest.
To day we shall celebrate that we have reached the tropics. Two days ago we celebreated that we had changed the local time on board. We have a celebration schedule. Aproxomately there is a celebration each second day. At least that was the plan when we hoped to be in StLucia in 19 days. We have forgotten that ETA by now. So we will have to invent some more celebrations! (The days in between we have normal happy hour.)
We are slow sailors, but I guess that is the way when you sail double handed and the genaker halyard is broken. St Lucia, here we come ... some day...
