MR - Day 16: Pole-change and seaweed

Since more than two weeks the wind has been blowing constantly from the north-east but in the past days it has moved slowly more and more towards the south-east. Therefore, this morning we decided to flip over the pole of our foresail from starboard to port. This change worked out perfectly and we were able to increase our VMG significantly.
Also, today we encountered a lot of seaweed on our journey through the western Atlantic Ocean. This was a nice opportunity for the crew to get used to see something else around us than just blue water.
We’re ready for the last 350 nm and can’t wait to arrive to beautiful St. Lucia soon.
