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

wind we have a second reef just to be on

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
