DATE: 24-03-16  GMT: 1230 POS: 50º44′ N, 0º32′ E   COG: 60º  SOG: 6 kts

We passed the Greenwich meridian

now sailing in the east hemisphere of our planet
Tres Hombres will pass the Dover strait in the evening
To celebrate our arrival in the north see
The weather forecast send us a gale warning
7 Beaufort south west, to sail hard to Den Helder
This night, we’ll make great speed
This is lucky weather, we are on the last pindakass pot
Enjoying our last days sailing before a new departure

Greetings from the Channel

Francois

Some of the crew members enjoyed cooking yesterday while Soraia had a day off. Her pastas, oignons beignets, pizzas, lasagna and vegetables […]

Fingers grab the outer jib sheet (by Marceline Mutsaerts)

Fingers grab the outer jib sheet … Are they mine? Hands feel the curiosity Of last year’s boson The mumbling drums of this refit And that refit Echoes of detachment sweat That rinsed all those backs Shaped all those minds Into a pale blue line Man, just had this crazy dream Was it mine? Boots […]
