number one at the front! What? But how? So soon? It was 3100. well, behind the 1 there are still extra 999 miles:) but still, there is number 1, you can't deny it. It’s passed as if it was one day, really. Will all life pass by so quickly? I don't know...  

I know that it's not my day. My coffee was too strong, when I was setting the autopilot, I hit myself hard in my leg, at night after setting the sails, I forgot to turn off the lights at the crosstrees and the batteries lost a lot of energy, and so on. I need to be careful today, I'm so absent-minded. Even my gym comes to nothing because on the Galapagos Islands (after two years of sailing on Tanasza, congrats!) I greased the slot in the mast where the edge of a sail goes, and now the mainsail goes up and down so well that not much effort is needed – and it used to be my exercise. So for a few days, I have been stretching because I'm becoming a stagnant old lady. And stretching means stopping in the companionway stairs with my knee bent... or I hang down on the casing of the companionway, swinging my legs in the cabin. Then, I feel like a young kitten... a kitten, what a nice kitten... what am I talking about? Maybe I'm still asleep... mmmm...
