Hi,
Yesterday was an amazing day, the boat was gliding effortlessly under a cloudless sky and 20 knots of wind. I had my gennaker, main sail and J3 sails, it was just perfect!
There is quite a lot of sand in the wind, I'm not sure where it comes from, maybe the Sahara desert, but the boat is covered with an orange dust…
I took a shower in the evening ans sailed close to the Flores Island, in the Azores archipelago. The night was very dark, though, all I saw were lights.
The sunset was beautiful, and so was the moon on a background made of several shades of blue and orange on the horizon… I just love those colours. You can see the moon on the picture!
The wind then grew stronger, up to 25 knots at one point in the night but I kept my gennaker up. I would have rolled it down in the South but the sea is calmer here so the boat can still sail at 18 knots thanks to the ballasts. That's making her happy, and me too! This morning has been a little cloudier but I can tell it will still be another pleasant surfing day.
See you this coming weekend !
Have a nice day.
