A sunny day (by captain Anne-Flore Gannat)

Paint and stain possible on this beautiful day.

All sails are up, even the jib that the kids painted in Amsterdam. We sat her under the mainsail. We call it the 'dolphin sail'.

Some of the crew members enjoyed cooking yesterday while Soraia had a day off. Her pastas, oignons, fritters, pizzas, lasagna and vegetables are so well prepared.

The wind isn't strong, even when more than 50 miles are drawn on the chart. My first plan was to sail around the high pressure. Go straight North and turn toward the East later but the ship was more comfortable and faster last night towards NorthEast.
We definitely passed the middle distance of the travel at the midsummer day and everyone is content to get closer to Denmark. The treasures of Bornholm that are remembered on deck quite often are the ice cream shop's, the biggest waterfall and the cliffs of Denmark, the awesome breweries, of course, Maria and Thomas's restaurant with the collection of corkscrews, the 10h daily choral in the harbor , the family atmosphere from the islanders…

There is only one night watch nowadays. It is so bright until 11 pm and again from 04 am. The sunrises and sunsets are magnificent. Colors are settings the peace, keep awake the minds.
