Weather is  the same all the time: “everywhere” is the best description of my everyday condition: grayness everywhere, waves everywhere, and lots of birds – how come they are this far from a land? flying fish, water, clouds, wherever I look I see them ,they surround me every day…  Common everywhereness I’d say…
I’ve fixed the AIS, but I am not sure if it’s completely fixed or there are simply no other ships around. A hard nut to crack for a sailor.
I’m heading for Reunion Island, if the ocean allows – this means that I have about 1,500 nautical miles ahead of me.
I had ribs with my mother’s sauce, young potatoes with dill, and sliced cucumbers and sour cream for supper yesterday. I even had another portion of the cucumbers, that is… I wish I had… (having imagination does help in such situations:) )
Janek, I used the silicone tape to pin an autopilot to the tiller; Marta, I wear your trousers for it’s getting colder and colder every day; Kasia, I read books which I got from you… It is so wonderful to feel the “touch” of your nearest and dearest everyday…
I play my Yamaha (guitar) whenever I can. Music works miracles, it helps me to deal with loneliness…
I wonder what I miss, is there anything out there which I can’t have here? Yes, of course. Trees, a dog, walk along the sea…
