Another day at sea comes to an end, and boy what a beautiful day it was. We flew along in the steady easterly trades with 15-18 kts of strength. Adrienne has been really happy all day and 8,5 kts SOG is basically what you see every time you check the digits. Sun has been shining and we are getting to know each other better and better. Those who have been feeling seasick are all getting back on track.
This blog is an ode to my colleague and shipmate Vilgot. This superb young man has just spent the summer skippering charter boats in Croatia, back to back weeks with guests onboard, sleeping on a sail bag whenever there was a break. That and his many other experiences truly makes him a delight to be sailing with. Today he whipped up and fried some pancakes for lunch, much to the crew’s delight. With jam and Nutella on top, there wasn’t a happier boat in sight.
