The wind decreased again last night, but fortunately, there is a slight breeze now. Still about 750 nautical miles [1389 kilometres; 863 land miles] to go, so I think that I will arrive in Sint Maarten around December 20th. Because it is so nice and calm I can enjoy reading, playing guitar and cooking a meal again, and then the day is over before I realize it. Moreover, I became excellent at doing nothing but sitting or lying a little bit, watching the sea and Guppy; I can spend many hours like this. As for the rest, everything is as it should, it is just great bobbing on the sea and watching the endless blue surface. Still, I would like to go for a walk again…, even though I actually have a dislike for walking.
