This morning the birds flew away. I guess they are now well equipped for their next leg… And so I am alone again but for the lizard that is very good at hiding away. The weather conditions are still the same – what bliss! There is a nice and strong crosswind and a clear blue sky with some stray clouds here and there. If the weather stays like this, the land does not need to appear on the horizon soon, for all I care. Well, I actually hope this does not happen for real because it would mean that I have done something wrong. After the hustle and bustle and the uncomfortable nights in the Galápagos I could fully recover here, and I even found time to do some schoolwork. I have not seen a boat or a dolphin recently but the number of stranded squids and flying fishes increases everyday. When I get up in the morning, the deck looks like a cemetery…
