Pinrail Chase

Noon position 2023-10-21 12.00 UTC:17°14'S 017° 44'WSpeed: 7.0 knots,COG 250°Yesterday, in an attempt not to get too much behind on schedule, we started the engines. With the help of these, we will get the average speed to be done for arrival in time down to acceptable levels. This might be already tomorrow, after which we can go on bobbing about with three knots for a couple of days.The wind has not really made an effort, but other than that was a glorious day:The PC organized a pin-rail contest that was wild: The judge was impartial as Justitia herself, there were VC and deckies and even engineers involved. All this happened in the time that we had extra for changing to UTC-1 in the middle of the dayIn the middle of all this madness, finally a fish was caught. A beautiful dorade, that will have a prime spot on tonight's menu, with white wine and aluminum foil involved.Then we had a swimming stop. The water was lovely!For lunch there was corn-soup!GroetHans
