8-9.11.08 215 nautical miles away from Reunion Island

not that stupid at all, as it turns out, for I have checked fuel underway before it ended...
and it turns out now that my fuel tank has been covered with a residue on a side which served me as a fuel marker. Uff, there is a hope for me then :) Either there is no wind or I am head to wind... Marvellous, isn’t it? It looks exactly like the Doldrums. Low-profile clouds, flashes of light here and there, squalls, rains, silence, and then it repeats.

When I am done with sails I find out that I am completely unhappy with a loose forestay... Not good! The wind could change its direction so that I would be running downwind. Waves hitting my bow don’t make the cruise joyful. Yet, I do sail, this is the important thing. Very little progress so far for I am slowed down by an opposite current, but it is there:) Heck, this is nothing compared to what Teresa Remiszewska went through.. I do hope you have read her book “Z goryczy soli moja radość” [My joy stems out of biterness] . This woman had it very difficult, and yet, she made it. She was amazing, I praise her. I have met her family at Cocos Islands – it was her niece if I am not mistaken.
Andrzej sails with his wife Ania under an Australian flag on “La Boheme” yacht in the Arc Rally Race. Maybe we will meet in Durban. Sail Tanasza, sail, and you, dear wind, change your direction at least a little...
