Unlike yesterday there was no wind at all last night and so to the noise of the engine, Guppy softly slid over the moonlit sea at a speed of 3,5 knots [6,5 kilometres or 5,6 miles an hour]. Last night I heard a thump, a sound meaning that I had hit something. Most likely it was a tree trunk, there are many adrift around here. I cannot find any visible damage, probably because we weren’t moving so fast when we hit, as I think. There is some wind now and Guppy is running under sail again. Luckily the sky is a little cloudier for Guppy nowadays is more like an oven during the day with the sun straight up above.
