King's Legend - living at an angle



Four days of living at an angle
Position 23.07.303N & 28.03.561W

Means:
• Steering at an angle
• Walking and growing huge calves for free at an angle
• Showering and dressing at an angle
• Putting in my contact lenses at angle resulted in two lenses in one
eye. That doesn’t really help while steering and looking at the wind vane.
• Peeing at an angle – men are only allowed to sit - pure damage control
• Shitting at an angle. It is extremely hard to flush as water tends
flow downward. And aiming the toilet paper correctly at an angle is another
demanding task
• Catching two fishes in 15 minutes. That is mostly the art of hoisting
it on deck aiming at a bucket at an angle
• Cooking at an angle. If you don’t fix it; it will fly through the
galley choosing any angle
• Eating at an angle. Most of the times I am eating my own hair and
trying to find my mouth without losing too much food at that bl…. angle
• Sleeping at an angle I am either crushing Gijs or I lie down at such
an angle that I am sleeping while standing on my feet
• A no alcohol angle until at least half way
• Quote of one the crew “ there is only one angel at this angle” ☺
• Sailing an average of 9kts at an half wind angle

All in all still no NE Trade winds. However we have a nice 20 kts northerly
wind that blows us across the Atlantic. So far so good.

Femke on board of King’s Legend, having fun with a great team at a perfect
angle
