Ngahue IV - After every night comes day



Another night at sea with no other company than the stars, a few clouds and, very briefly, a waxing moon. Not a ship in sight and nothing on the AIS. Pure silence on VHF channels 16 and 72, now our ARC listening channel... No flying fish on deck; and as Portuguese Men-of-War aren't visible in the dark, none of them either (though there are plenty around this morning). No wind, either, so the only disturbance really was the soft droning of our Volvo-Penta TAMD 41B...

We were both on watch to see a beautiful sunrise announce the coming of a new day - La Vie est Belle... or to translate this French film title, Life is Beautiful!

All we need to do now is cross an area of approximately 130M to start getting some better wind, which undoubtedly the rest of the fleet has picked up ages ago.
