My fourth day at sea. I have sailed over 460 nautical miles from the Cocos Islands. All the vivid memories of a beautiful beach I left behind are now safely stored in a little basket full of shells dancing next to the chart room...
 The Indian Ocean does not make it easier, you need to struggle a bit.
Waves are irregular, the wind pushes some of them, a storm in the south pushes other ones.
I bruised myself a little, but most of the glitches are under control now.
There is a lot of huge flying fish. All the ships here, if some are around, are always on collision course. Yesterday, one seaman sang beautiful  love songs on channel 16, but he wouldn’t give his position or sing something more lively.
For Karolinka: The stone was thrown into the Indian Ocean as we agreed. Here are the coordinates: 15 03 S and 089 36 E.
Robert Krasowski helps out with info about the weather; meanwhile, I am thinking about skipping Rodriguez and visiting Mauritius in order to avoid another glitch.
