[status] Day 50...I write this and even I can't believe we've been out here 50 days. But we must be approaching civilisation as our VHF radio came to life; unreadable gibberish, but still. And our AIS also lit up with a few fishing boats around. And plenty of birds!!
The other news is that we haven't changed our sail configuration in almost 48 hours and that's a record. As every day since day 1 we have had to modify our sails, sometimes more than once a day. This means finally some stable winds!
[END]
We must free ourselves of the hope that the sea will ever rest. We must learn to sail in high winds.
