How is it possible to be for three weeks at sea and not get good winds for two days in a row .. The weather doesn’t look like things will improve soon, so everyday is the same with very little wind and drizzling rain.. Today was even worse than yesterday the horizon being a 500 meters away, visibility stopped by a ghostly white and gray curtain of drizzle, just enough to make everything really wet aboard Guppy but not enough to keep some fresh rainwater. The sails are not flapping and Guppy is slowly going on through the bleak weather making me feel comfortable inside. I have found a new hobby, playing the flute.. It was on board with me since departure, just like a lot of other unused stuff I have.. I was more interested in playing the guitar so I didn’t really know how to play it.. But I find that while bouncing around on a boat playing the flute is much more easier to do than playing the guitar .. I am starting to get the hang of it now that I have mastered a few basic techniques..
