We didn't get a chance to air out the spinacker. The wind died over night. For a long while we could still go at 4 knot speed at a 60° apparent wind angle, hoping to make it to sunrise when the wind usually picks back up. But at 5 o'clock we practically stood still. We are motoring since, because the wind did not come back.
The sun also didn't make an appearance today. There is a heavy cloud cover, but the visibility is good. We could easily see a tanker passing by in 10 miles distance.
There is now literally no wind at all. The water surface is glassy, except a minor swell from NE. The alternators are doing their job and we are using all the excess power to fill up the water tanks.
We are still meeting a few floating objects. Mostly fishing buoys with loads and loads of small mussels attached. Water temperature is down to 16°C but it still is T-shirt weather during day time.
All good with crew and boat.

To reach a port we must set sail. Sail, not tie at anchor. Sail, not drift.
