Day 67, evening.
Another day of fog, no sun and unpleasant rolling which became worse again after I first wrote. But with mild wind from SW I should not complain, there’s nothing worse than having to get out the SA!
It took self discipline to do the 2-hour stints and I admit I cut them down a bit. I made a sort of sling for the Buddy loudspeaker. I now have it as a big necklace dangling inside my jacket. It is bluetooth paired to the iPad so I can pause or stop what is being transmitted. This way I can listen to music and those Ibsen plays from the 1950’s even when the surroundings are noisy. “A Doll’s House” kept me going for my last session with the wind weakening, but the rolling as bad as ever…
Thought of supper is always inspiring!
I dropped one freeze-dried meal today (planning ahead!) and for supper had a fried egg and a tin of mackrel in tomato sauce (take note grandson Finn: Ketchup-like, right?) plus a “Vegetable Hotpot” from Adventure Food. And some crisps. Tasted fantastic and was really filling, but knekkebrød and cheese and cup of herb tea is also on the list before I keel over…
Thanks for comments on the current. Right now in little wind it seems to be pushing me NNE (30 T) which also was the feeling when I rowed. Not 170 right here, anyway.
Lots of WSW winds for 3 days at least, so it does not look like I can prevent going further N. Unless the current changes direction.
Glad to hear no hurricanes in sight, yet, keep it like that, please!
Thanks for many greetings and comments again. It is a huge inspiration to get your greetings and hear that so many are interested followers.
Next milestone is the Mid-Atlantic Trench N of Azores and about 400 nm away, from there “only” 900 nm to the finish!
Good night!
