Daily Report #36

Dear readers,

First of all, a word of thanks to your loyal readers and respondents. You can respond in PLAIN TEXT so no appendices on kalo-sini@myiridium.net Really nice to hear how everyone experiences it and also knows how to tell something about the adventures they had on the water.

And the wind comes out..
The East. We're watching milkmaids. And that's fine. The ship almost holds itself on course. It is a lot of rolling, no stamping, no screeching, although sometimes just a little over 40 degrees and we don't dip. We experience about 15-17 knots of wind and that gives us a speed of 5-6 knots. This way we will get there and the outlook gives the same expectation for the coming days. Perhaps with a decrease in wind speed.
The sun is in the cockpit all day warming things up and now I try to sit inside more and more during the day. I don't want to come back like an overcooked turkey. Speaking of dry, you have to be careful with drinking. You may not notice it, but urine production can decrease considerably due to the amount of sweating in these circumstances. And we've rationed the water to make sure we have enough left over when we reach the destination a little later due to circumstances. In this case we drink 1.5 l per day which should be enough together with the wet food.
I have now started my second book. 'God as delusion' I had already read this one and explores the scope of religious terminology if you ask me. Interesting. It's a welcome philosophical addition to all the time I'm lying on my back under the bimini staring at the stars, the cloudy sky or the insides of my eyes.
When I am in such a state of almost absolute nothingness, a phrase always creeps into my head that has been in my mind since childhood and has Calvinistic origins. Idleness is the devil's workshop. It could apply to me. The idleness in my case, of course, refers to the absence of entrepreneurial spirit. (In the many moments when you are forced into idleness on such a journey). And then I console myself with the thought that if God is a delusion, then the devil must be too. No matter how beautiful and striking the analogy is. It's amazing what you can do in your short life. And that at the same time. Ding dong.
Oh, the electrician has arrived. To connect the heater pump. The temperature could probably drop below 20 degrees. Brrr. No keys for me today. Delicious. The blog with this one.
