Friday – probably second last day, before Cape Verde

Today we had our first close encounter with a fish. But it is not what you may think… A flying fish landed on the boat. It was evident from the scales on the deck that the poor flying fish had fought a brave fight for its life. But unfortunately, fate had something else in store for the poor flying fish. In the burning sun, the flying fish had dried up all stiff. The captain and his crew had a moment of silence before a proper goodbye was said to the flying fish and it was sent off to rest in peace in the great blue.
We also enjoyed that we have restored all system status to green and a fantastic sailing day, downwind at 160 deg to the wind. Still very weak winds, but much better than the alternative. Erik made dinner, a superb chicken and nudles served in bowl, as the wave started to become confused.
So position is 18 deg 57 N and 22 deg 57 W, sog is 6 and cog is 255 deg.
Greetings from the crew,
