Mairmade - Day#9
Big Ocean ... Small World
Today's noon position update shows us (Mairmade) one place ahead of Sky Blue at a DTF of 2nm. What isn't immediately obvious is that we're also separated by a similar ~2nm in location!!
Our tracks converged a couple of days ago, and we've remained 10-15nm apart (Mairmade ahead π) ever since. Some friendly banter has gone by on email π
With Mairmade changing to a port tack in the relatively lighter winds this morning, Skye Blue came racing up from behind with a glorious wing-on-wing sail plan. Quite a sight π
Some radio chatter, more friendly banter, and best wishes reciprocated, we returned to the task of ocean crossing with the promise of sharing stories over a cold beer in St. Lucia. π»
After spending weeks on the dock next to each other, greeting each other every morning, how wonderful it was to chat on VHF like we were still in Las Palmas. A small world indeed.
Fair winds Stephen, Malene , and crew (because your fair winds are our fair winds π€£π€£π€£)
See you in St. Lucia.
