Fish - Boat 1-0!!



Today something has been baited at a speed of 15 knots, that was a fight with unequal weapons. While the fish was pulling and jumping over, the crew was busy with dropping sails to reduce speed. So you can imagine the consequences.. before efforts were paid pack, the fish was already quietly darting in the depths of the ocean ...

Otherwise it was a quiet day, after jibing (finally) we started to gallop towards W with a steady wind between 25 and 30 knots: these are similar conditions, but a little less stressful, to those we had 200 miles to the North.
The unpleasant consideration is that a low pressure is growing in front of us: it looks like within 3 days a bubble of light wind will appear right at our latitude. We will pay high price for our decision to look for more comfortable situations. 
"Se confermata avremo preso un granchio di dimensioni colossali!!"

On the other side the routine settles as stomachs do, we have less “green faces” and Nicola puts much efforts in his delicious dishes that are beginning to be a little more rewarded. As you know, you get used to everything.
Right now on my screen a boat has pointing to us, it would seem someone from ARC because it is proceeding at a relevant speed: it's nice to see a light on the horizon in this universe of with crests ...



Ciao a tutti!
