Atlanten – in pictures

1 january 2020

  • It started off a bit grey when we left Cap verde.

5 January

8.19 First on the fifth morning the sun showed up a little bit. Afterwards we heard that Cap verde had got a sandstorm after we left. Maybe that’s why it was so grey?

6 January

9.26 Finally a strong morning sun – making a beautiful silver street on the ocean.
We sailed only on the genua the whole way. The sunprotectioncover at the bottom started to break. This was our first try to repair it. It did not worked… Now it has got new seams.

7 January

This is 1.21 on the night. I (Anna) always have the watch 1-4 o’ clock. We had a raising moon with us and this night I thought we also had an angel at the mast. I got almost chocked when I looked on the photo afterwards and saw the standing figure. Even if looks calm it is rolling and I shot a picture just to get the moon. First when I showed Arthur the photo he saw that it was the end of the boom that made the shadow. I prefer to remember it as one of our angels.
8.19 the sun is on the way up. My second watch is 7-10 in the morning. I am preparing breakfast and take my seat with a cup of tea on the left side of the Mesanmast. I start watching.

6.59 First boat we see in two weeks
7.58 Anchored in St Anne bay, Martinique. French guest flag up.
This was our qualifying passage as members of Ocean Cruising Club – no more A (as in Associated) on the flag. We will pick up a new one in Panama.
Yes, we made it! Thanks for being with us!
