Wolkenschlößchen - Day 5 - Drone over board!



What a day! What a wonderful day with lots of sunshine and light winds. Perfect to start with large round of avocado toast with cheese and eggs (Fred's specialty eggs).
Also perfect to go fishing again. We first caught a mini Mahi Mahi which we released back to the sea. Nature thanked us with a large catch just 10 minutes later. Lots of work to drag that one in... A large plastic bag!
With that many good deeds done, we felt it is time to fly the drone. We made some wonderful shots and then safely hit the drone on the boom and sent it swimming. Drone over board!!! Perfect for us to train our MOB manoeuver under oxley. Worked like a charm! Lesson learned though: either get the fishing rod in right (!) away or drive a really large circle...
So after securing the drone and it's video card (we still hope we can reanimate her some time), Lennart had to go diving to free the prop from 150m dynema fishing line. What a joy, he is the only clean one on board now.

He could regain some power though with burgers a la Fred, trying to replicate our grandma's recipe. Yummy!

And shortly after sunset: a decent Mahi Mahi. Nature is on our side again!

Sailing into the night in light winds with our favourite sail.

Daily run: 126nm (yes, the winds are lighter these days but we are still on pretty direct course at least).
