Happy Sunday dear family and friends,
my time to chime in.  As the novice in offshore sailing plus being from a landlocked country it took me as expected a few days to find my sailors  legs, hence no way I cold have sat at a computer and typed anything remotely sensible (maybe I still ) Best only to go below deck for sleeping only for all I know. When thinking yesterday evening of "dark and stormies" it wasn't exactly of a never ending series of swells during the  night I had in mind but  there we were; reefed main sail only up  and still we averaged nine knots and peaked and at twice that. Anyway as Strauss' song says " and tomorrow the sun will shine again" which concludes my deep nautical insights.
What's best: seven guys sharing an incredible experience and having all the  consideration for each other that the sparse quarters seem still small but a little bit larger than when we stepped aboard. To boot: Sharing he exhilaration of surfing down one more perfectly caught long atlantic wave at 20+ knots.  the low points - forget about it  but it has to do with equipment failure ( fixed since) re And last:  to be able to share this unbelievable experience with this group of friends aboard the eve trustworthy SY ACE.
For all of us greetings and cheers to you. you are all on our  mind and present conversations and to my family: I love you very much
Adrian
