After seeing only water for four days I spotted land this morning. Unfortunately
I could see the land earlier on my radar but not by looking out because of poor
visibility. Happily it got better around midday when all clouds cleared away
and conditions turned to nice and warm sunshine.
Now I lie in the Canary Islands with the first leg of my journey behind me. It
was a great first leg and I can look back at it with a good feeling. Sleeping,
eating, navigating and all other things onboard went well for me, and with the
weather improving I got into my rhythm more and more each day.
For now I will stay where I am with a view on the shore, but with this fine
weather and this wonderful view it will be all fine.
I am sorry that the English version of my site was not updated and that my
blogs were sometimes short with only a little information. But I could not quite
keep everything going perfectly while at sea. I will now try and get it fixed.
