Tatt av Vinden - 18:26.05N 24:53.29 Tatt av vinden - noon report
At six o'clock this morning Lars reported clear skies with stars. After a
dark night which was only enlighted by the blitzes from the thunderstorms, and
rain, rain, rain, the message sounded too good to be true. We had passed the
trough with all its small and bigger lows. We were through! And we had no
squalls. Further north up to 70 kn of wind has been recorded. Again we
experience that the advice from Mads in FreeWind is very good and reliable.
When Bjørn took over the watch from Eva at 0800UTC, the sun was rising. Now
it shines from a bright sky, and we have about 16 kn of wind from SE. We changed
course for St. Luci. Next waypoint is 2100 Nm ahead of us. 24 C in the air. This
feels like trade wind sailing!
The sun is now close to 2 hours after London time. The captain rules the
ship’s time. We’ll change one hour any day now. It will be done by daytime.
During night time we keep a tighter watch system, and the cruelty of prolonging
the time of one of the watches wit one hour could perhaps cause mutiny...
