What’s going on here?!
It’s dark because of the clouds, there is one squall after another and rain comes along with each of them... sometimes the wind spins so quickly that I barely manage to find my way... and there are plenty of ships around.
My little Tanasza is very brave... she just needs a little bit of love... The right capstan needs to be dismantled, in turn. Probably some trigger or spring broke down because it doesn’t get blocked... and it should.  The thing is, Barlow, the manufacturer of my capstan, hasn’t been producing capstans for ten years... Luckily, other producer’s spare parts will be ok, but now I don’t have the opportunity to dismantle it and... I really need it. I’m using it all the time but I have different methods of blocking the line. It’s bothersome and I really need to be careful so that my hand doesn’t get pulled in. It works the other way round, too – if an unexpected squall makes us turn then it’s difficult to unblock such a blockade... gosh, I could fix it but... so many things in life need the right moment to come...
and I’ve heard that I can stay in the Galapagos Islands only for 24 hours. It’s not that I haven’t seen turtles or iguanas earlier... but I’d like to get some sleep before the next stage... :)
