Tenth day at sea – Muehsam nourishes the squirrels …

Dear Readers,

how to say? Headwind. It seems, as we would have the
throughout the Atlantic crossing! Barely two hours after the last
Blog entry yesterday afternoon we got the weather maps and wanted to
not believe: East wind for today 2-3 and easterly winds tomorrow 4. We have
then also against 2 Hours get, Now cross back again
North East and can only be for the next weather map with enjoyable
Messages hope.

Otherwise we are fine. The weather is indeed much to be desired,
Rain this morning already, and now completely overcast, But it goes
at least 3 Knots (VMG) towards the target. Better, as recently as in
Counterflow only sail either north or south to.

Highlights of the day currently playing only the daily position record
and the food. Yesterday there was initially a can of "Gumbo", a typical
Southern dish of Louisiana (makes me a little of the
Reminded Mecklenburg Solyanka …) and then for dessert the
typical American "Macaroni and Cheese". To cook the dish is
probably the first, German au pair to learn what in the U.S., because the
American kids, in principle, every other day to feed them. Set
hats also made, even if it in substance, but a bit
was curious. Even out here, where one of each warm soup cans
thinks, it would be the best, which one would have ever eaten. 😉

Just a flying fish came fluttering on board. Unfortunately, too small, to
Food, only about 5 cm lang. Are not the taste of her anyway
Pops, I have ever tried in the Caribbean. Much to it is yes
in any case not. I've always wondered at the time, how to fly fish
begins, to fry. Driving a motor boat and the nets
through the area?! Have you seen some here, Also every few
Days times dolphins. One day we even had a small, about 1 Meter
long shark at least 5 Accompanied miles wide. The most exciting I find
But again, the Portuguese galleys, here from time to
Time to sail past. The small, about 15 cm-long jellyfish swims
at the water surface and has a sail with an air bubble, with
the sail is not only with the wind, it may even cross! Total
fascinating. And they are actually quite fast on the way.

1296 There are still miles to the Azores. So it's going. When
too slowly and in a zigzag course. Let's hope we continue to Westwind – or
we also like the South or North, But no more easterly, Please!

Position ist: 38 22.7 degrees' N, 056 15.8 degrees' In. Makes an hour period of 105
Miles and 835 Miles from New York.

Regards!
