Today the waves are higher and they are still coming from two different directions! Guppy is like a rocking horse gone wild and I, well I’m inside trying to do all the usual things like cooking, sleeping, navigating and the rest… And she is still sprinting ahead at 7 knots which to me looks like a good trade off. Slowly and steadily the ship traffic is getting busier, just this morning a big ship passed by and three more are now on my radar screen. So I am on the watchl! I am seriously catching up on Sogno d’Oro, already as much as 110 nautical miles [204 kilometres or 127 land miles]. Let’s see if I can catch up to her before the Torres Strait…Looking inside the fridge I found a cucumber I didn’t remember leaving there or I should say what’s left of it. I always turn off the elctricity guzzler as I leave harbour so… That is because when I am at sea I want to be sure to have all the electric power I need to supply the navigation equipment. So things are going great – there is a little drizzling rain and from time to time the sun is shining – and the fresh air at sea is the best…
