During the motoring hours I tried to explain Arie and Frits the basics of astronavigation. That's not that easy, but with the help of some books we managed.
In the mean time Eline backed a bread. She turns out to be very knowledgeable in making your own stuff like making yoghurt out of yoghurt. In all she's very enlightening …as she proved by setting my hair on fire :-)Arie too backed some bread. So far it's not eatable, hard like a rock but it might get softer next day or so..
Sofar we didn't manage to catch any fish, too bad because we ran out of fresh meat and are now down to canned stuff.
Later that day we had a surfing competition. Frits had set the speed record at 9.6 kts. Arie got to 9.1 and Eline 9.4. Time for me to set a better goal at 9.9 kts. Eline tried very hard to beat me while Frits was riding a real rodeo down below trying to cook dinner. Luckily he knows this game very well and could anticipate the turns and hold himself more or less
We decided to stop the competition to give Frits a fair chance in cooking. That is.. Arie and I stopped... Eline only pretended and very sneaky clocked 10.8... poor Frits.
Early this morning we decided to gibe and are now pointing directly to Horta. The wind picked up a bit more and now we're doing 8 kts average and set the speed record to 13.8 kts [Frits] The whole maneuver took a while and knocked out Eline. She's asleep now while Frits's teaching Arie how to surf better and I'm fighting my keyboard that got coffee soaked and now all the keys come up with random letters … argh
