And, wasn’t I right? Even Robert Krasowki has admitted that I’m indeed unlucky when it comes to the weather… but as the saying goes “unlucky at cards, lucky in love”, isn’t that true? (I’m oh so eloquent and that comparison is oh so witty),
All in all, it’s understandable that we can’t have everything or always everything that we want.
I helmed a little bit with the sails wing to wing, but my efforts were all for nothing, at this pace I will be admiring this Indian Ocean for the next few days…

Once, I had to go down inside so I switched on the autopilot adjusting the sails properly to the north-east wind direction, and when I was back in literally a minute, I found the wind blowing from south-east. The yacht turned around uncontrollably and I lost the boom vang. That’s not good.

Have you ever been a mailman? I have been a mailman today. A letter flew with me from Poland, by Chile, Australia to Papua in New Guinea and later on it sailed with me through Torres Strait, Australia and The Indian Ocean. It letter was written by some young person from Ustka. Klaudia Krzywkowska is her name and the letter in a bottle has just been launched today at the location: 29 24 S, 035 40 E. We’ll see where it’s taken by the wind and currents, or the stomach of a blue shark… Maybe it’ll be found by somebody who replies to it… we’ll see how it goes… the second letter from the next special person is waiting to be launched in The Atlantic… (Delivering them is my pleasure!).
