The wind and the waves decreased a little, and I am now sailing under full sails again, the mizzen, the mainsail and the poled out Genoa. The wind is coming almost directly from astern, blowing me towards Sint Maarten. Today the sky is almost cloudless and because of that, it is nice and warm again. Everything has dried a little, and the hatchway to the cabin can stay open without waves flooding inside. I can even walk normally inside the boat instead of climbing through it. Today I attached mosquito nets to the hatches, although I did not have too much trouble with mosquitoes until now, but as I remember my experience with mosquitoes in Sint Maarten last year, I shall better keep those critters out of here. Darn, those mosquitoes were aggressive!
