Frangipani - WG: Hoping for more wind




Wind speeds between 5 and 9 knots are normally seldom to find on the
Atlantic. But now we are sitting at 24°29`N and 21°50`W and hope that the
clouds which are looking quite promising will eventually bring a kind
breeze. Up to now it hasn't been really that bad thanks to our Germa 39. She
reacts very quickly and we haven't overloaded her with fuel. Thus she
returns her thanks for a little bit more wind in speeding up. If she gets an
apparent wind of 7 knots she makes 4.5 kn over the ground, and when we have
a breeze of 9 knots there even might appear 6 kn on the speedometer. But
altogether it's rather quiet on board, so what can we do besides fishing?
And what shall we do with all the fish? Perhaps we had better bought more
fuel...

Uli and Harry from Frangipani
