Third day at sea – Flies and doldrums

Dear Readers,

Since yesterday afternoon, we are a hour period of 92 Mile run, what is right
is useful, given that, that the wind in the last 24
Hours more than was dull and have now for about 10 Minutes completely
has left. Stand on the GPS yet 85 Miles to New York and we
can hope, that we are on tomorrow just after lunch time, the board
Statue of Liberty cruise past.

Yesterday afternoon the wind shifted in the course of my guard on North – the
called cross for us. A strike brought us close inshore, man
could clearly see the beach. In the afternoon he turned always
remains the southern. Last night was quiet then, except for the passage
the traffic separation scheme in the Delaware Bay, where some tankers
Roads and others were on the way to the bay. Slalom Sailing meant
for us. Under Butterfly – ausgebaumter Genoa and not so large
just.

The last hours of the night watch were mine. At 7 Clock we started
Coffee and Pancakes (!) the day. Yesterday there was coffee, scrambled
Eggs and Bacon. Ganz schön dekadent 😉

Otherwise we seem to slowly get used again to the sea sailing.
The sea legs back and seasickness was still no. Also the
Water is, The further we get the hits out of the Atlantic Ocean,
always bluer. Sparkles in colors, not found anywhere else in such a
Can see intensity. To experience a morning sunrise at sea,
when the sun slowly rises from the blue, brightens the day
heated, and the vast sea of the first really makes conscious, belongs
probably one of the most fascinating things, that one can experience in life.

The only annoying on board here are a large family of flies, we
taken together with some mosquitoes on the way to New York
have. The mosquitoes in Deltaville were very happy stabbing, I have only
on my feet 77 Mosquito bites counted. All in all about 120. On
I can count the back so bad. An ointment containing the
promising name “Anti-Itch-Cream” from the American
Supermarket has brought a little remedy before the itching. – As for me
astonished, because the ointment is loud imprint not only specifically for
Mosquito bites thought, but actually for ALL, which may be itchy.

The mosquitoes have not survived the first two days. They
stood on top of the black list – had the vigil
one time yes, get rid of their. But now the
Always annoying fly, settle on arms and legs and bite.
And, actually, it seems to be special vampire-flying act.
Egi is currently with a fly swatter in the cockpit on hunting. A
Mess! – the critters are soaked with blood and make thick
Flecken 😉

Enough of the flies.

We will contact you with the next update not like today by Iridium,
but then hopefully from New York!
