Defyr - Towards Bermuda: THIS is sailing!





Regaining strength after the hard winds. Good food, enough sleep and easy winds. Living the dream, LIVING THE DREAM!

Easy Rider II passed us this morning and we had a good visual of them. Ansgar had a small chat through VHF with Ross and all crew in Easy Rider seemed to be fine and also gaining strength. We put the genaker up shortly after they passed us and we are now trying to catch them!! It's good to have a boat in the horizon to follow and tempting us to stay in the same speed as they.

We have now trained Antero and Ansgar enough that they can handle the boat in light winds without me and Afu so we are able to change our working schedule to 3h duty, 6h off duty, which started to be a must, since I was getting dangerously tired. Today after my first 6h sleep, I was already like a new person! So I think this crossing might become as pleasant as from Las Palmas to Saint Lucia.

Back to checking out flying fish! Over and out.
