Finally I have WIND – Hurrah! For sure it could be coming from a better direction but at least we have wind and Guppy is going under sails and running twice as fast as with the engine. Guppy is on a close tack so I am a bit like a bouncing ball aboard… which hasn’t stopped me from baking cookies – delicious mind you – and spending the rest of the day enjoying them as I looked at the waves. In a solemn ceremony I even sacrificed one to Neptune… Now I really feel like I am at sea and on my journey again! Today I also came by another boat – an old fishing thing entirely built of wood. I don’t think they saw me and they didn’t answer my VHF radio calls. As I sailed by at a distance it crossed my mind that I have a much better look out then they are…
