the led light on the mast stopped working. I can barely see the pointer showing me the wind direction, and when there is a cloudburst I can’t see it at all.
Today, I read in the Bronisław Zieliński’s memories about Ernest Hemingway: ‘But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.’

Perhaps some of you needed to read such words today? 
Being on the sea makes receiving information more difficult... for example, today I found out that one year ago Sir Edmund Hillary died. He was a citizen of New Zealand, the first climber known to have reached Mount Everest, in 1953, and in 2002 he founded the Sydney Hobart Yacht Race. It was a very good start for us! Sir Hillary also reached both poles and when he finished his career, he established the Himalayan Trust Foundation, which supported building new schools, hospitals and clinics in Nepal.  I wish there were more people like Sir Hillary, who would use their popularity to finance and support others that were born in less developed countries.
