Dear Readers,

Today, only three hours later than usual, because before the
Lunch time just here and the wind had come Seebewegungen (to
to 4 Meter hohe Seen) have not made it very funny, below deck
to sit and type. Now do not, therefore only briefly:

"A storm is a cost the lives – a lull in the mind ", has
Once Uwe Röttgering (which at that time by the way, only about
1.100 Miles northeast of unsbefindet: www.einhandsegeln.de) in his
Book written. Headwind, as ours
days since the case, makes not much fun. And we had everything
– Headwind, Storm and calm – In recent 24 Hours.

Last night we reached a depth of up to 3 Meter high waves and
about 8 Winds. Towards morning we could not earn miles for more
East and had to make good for 6 Hours heave. This made the
confused seas a little more pleasant, But it was really relaxing
nevertheless not.

Stopped when the strong wind, as against 10 Clock, we must precisely
have found the center of the storm – there was absolute calm and
The sun came out, while the boat is pathetic in the old lake
languished. Around noon then – finally – wind came from the south. Exactly
from the side! For the first time in at least 5 Days, we can again
just to sail to the Azores and made a good ride now: With 6-7
Nodes we hunt in glorious sunshine on our goal to.

Currently, there are still 1230 Miles to Horta. Position was noon today 39
3.4 degrees' N, 055 13.4 degrees' In. Etmal: Only 63 Miles.

We hope, that the wind keeps! I get right at this moment
The weather map on shortwave … Looks like, when we were finally
through first and had free travel!

Many greetings from here – and do not worry at home, when the thus
dramatic sound. We are doing fine! 😉

John
