Woeshh! I took a shower once again! During my check around, a wave took the opportunity to take me to graze unto the foredeck. Thank you, now I am wide awake and hmm…salty. The wind has picked up and the waves are just high enough that some occasionally jump on the foredeck every now and then. But happily, Guppy can jump over most of them so I could take my guitar with me to the cockpit once more. Playing outside to the whisper of the waves as Guppy cuts through them, sounded so beautiful that it made me totally forget that I was also frying an egg… Unfortunately the big catamaran gained back on me but it won’t catch up in any case. Because the land is coming closer and closer, and there are only 350 nautical miles [648 kilometres or 403 land miles] still to go. What a small number compared to what it was at the beginning of this crossing.
