Nikajuma - Day 6 - 1300 nm to go



A day of breakage followed ba a day of fixing.
We go back one day. Friday was also at work the day, when things went wrong. As a sailor, luckily there is no weekend.
Start of failure was 6 a.m. utc. Pitch dark. Our sail just crashed into the water. Result may be due to a broken block.
Midday. Shakle got loose on genua.
Afternoon: water in motor bilge. Luckily fresh water.
Nighttime: we ripped out 2 blocks due to a jam with a towel. Easy to see in daytime...
But good news exept the sail, everything is fixed again.
Resulting in a saturday with no big highlights.
But looking at the good things of a lost friday: we had boats around us (Selkie and Damasi II) on AIS and in sight. This gives a lot of confidence. And we got a new speed record surfing down the giant waves.
Good night.
