today, so far, touch wood!, it seems a bit less stormy.
headwind... although it’s not too strong, it still is uncomfy because I can’t go where I want to go.
I survived an insect attack . I guess they were moths. I took photos of these scoundrels so as soon as I get to the Galapagos Islands, I’ll show them to you. they were huge, one-third of a palm! do I exaggerate? well, maybe just a bit. but there were so many of them that I was afraid to touch anything because they were literally everywhere. I felt as if I had been attacked, conquered by an invader. I was deprived of my space, my privacy! horror! it was the first time I felt so powerless during this cruise... I couldn’t hit them with a flip-flop (they were too big), nor drive them away from the inside with a towel... when I tried, they started flying like mad and I had to hide away from them in my sleeping bag!
one dragonfly slept by the gps. because of the insects, my going out every fifteen minutes to look for other yachts, was accompanied with screams and my disgusted face and preparing myself for going back to the cabin.
fortunately, my guests left by the morning. They disappeared just as suddenly as they arrived... gosh, I hate such creatures so much!
the sunset... another spectacular one... but a red sun never gives me much hope...
