Lea - Log Day 5 – Thursday/Catch of t….omrrow maybe?



With very little wind, the night went by slow in a 3-4 kts speed. Although listening to podcasts and forgetting to eat the cinnamon rolls we had saved, did make the time go by fast. Around 7am, while everyone was up during the watch-swap, we used the time to spread our sails in a beautiful, pink morning sky. This picked our speed up quite a bit, and we can proudly say that a homemade spinnaker pole does work!

We’re really on a roll these days in the cooking department, and today Reidun kept it going by not only baking some delicious bread, she also made scrambled eggs to go with it for lunch. For the past few days she’s been working the fishing pole, using all kinds of bates and hooks, trying to get that tuna on board - but without luck. Yet.  Apparently all the squids and butterflies and birds of the Atlantic haven’t informed the tuna what a great time they’ve had visiting LEA. Or maybe the tuna have only had a talk with the squid. Time will show. We are keeping our fingers crossed though, for a potential “Log Day x – Catch of the day” to write soon.

With the skipper’s turn in the galley, whipping up some barbeque burgers, and less than 280 nm left to Cape Verde, we’re crossing our fingers that the wind will come around anytime soon now and decide to be our friend (so that we will hopefully make it to the welcome party on Saturday and also maybe have time to take a shower first). As for the tuna. Despite the missing presence of those two, I can’t complain about this life at sea, it’s pretty great. 

 

Sailing for Hope,
