Ahead - Log 2 - Vikings at sea



After the start that was quite fun we are now getting settled in our watch  schedule once more. It seems we are adjusting much easier than on the stretch from Casablanca to Las Palmas - the sea is also much calmer.

Appologies to the english sloop (number withheld of obvious legal reasons) that lost their fishing gear by us doing some luffing behind their tail. Unfortunately for them their line and gear stuck at our keel - but 
fortunately fornus we got it cleared up. At St Lucia we shall be happy to return the gear with some beers - tonight 
we can do nothing more than enjoy the appr. 16 kilo Dorado we caught ... :-)

Sailing has been easy - gennaker as the only sail has proved an advantage for us - easy trimming and speed was maintained all during the night. We shall see how the picture developes as everybody turns near Cap Verde - but 
right now we are doing allright and having an extremely comfortable ride.

Greetings to everybody - send some free SMS'ses at 
http://messaging.iridium.com - see more at www.syahead.dk . We enjoy to hear from you - also very much info from the fleet viewer as we cannot see that directly due to the download size of that page.


All the best,
The Crew @ Ahead
