around Malta will ask you to get to
Messina due to weather conditions the
curl consists of winter and I with any
crew but particularly a small one
personal chemistry is key and I'm
blessed with Gunther
he's a great analytical thinker a
problem solver and optimizer a scheduler
and a non-stop learner with him at the
helm I know that all systems are
understood when I'm off duty I trust his
ability to watch our surroundings
efficiently during his Watchers the 20
knots wind has seen caribou on any
impression second captain
so it's dolphin time we put the classic
music for them up we have one here and
they love the classic music music

wind and then the mainsail is helping to
balance the boat so for the past 20
minutes we've been moving in this
direction so we're sailing from Chios to
Acharya

8:50 and we are in September there is
still some Melton but it is mild early

Western route and then state himself and
then come back up north
so quality control will go pro
in the middle of the union see halfway
between Messina and the Polonia a
neighbor passing us after bearing the
Turkish flag and then the Greek flag in

conditions with rain rain showers and
northerlies northeast north of the
westerlies 10 to 15 knots possibly

band over there where the water is going
north
we're now at 5.6 speed of a ground
versus 5.4 speed in the water 5.7

the comfortable side and to be ready for
the night

we've had a rocky afternoon in spite of
this we succeeded to cook some chili con
carne for tomorrow and we hope to have a
wind shift currently blowing from the
south west and we hope it will turn
northeast
