Babs had said to call the other yacht again at night, which was possible because they were still in reach of the vhf. The whole group got together this time for the conversation.. It turns out they are Canadian, at some stage they asked why we had sailed a circle around them at which we all had to laugh, because we had been wondering all day why they were making a circle around us. In the end it’s not quite clear who circled who because we both jibed at some stage so our paths kept crossing. They talked some more about food and that all the yummy things had run out, at which point Sander and I got some teens staring at us that said ” well see!, we aren’t that bad!” Since the beginning of the trip we have been warning our young crew – that if they eat the yummy things right away, it will be gone and we won’t be able to buy new at sea.. Little use it had and so eventually we had to hide things in order to still make some sort of a varied meal. But we mostly let them figure it out themselves, as we aren’t the once that ate everything right away. It’s fun to see the teens go trough this process, and after all I am more then used to just eat plain pasta 😉 In the end everyone got to say hi, after we had some good laughs with the crew of the other yacht. Somewhere during the night we eventually lost them. The night started out clear but ended in a big squall that mostly brought pouring rain and shifting winds. Right now we are back to the usual sunny days we have been enjoying for a while now. 🙂
