DECEMBER 6th of 2009 - 8th day at sea

The moon now shines at 3/4s. IT Is so bright that you can hardly steer directly to it. Looking forward is pitch black. We have a radar to help us track any freighters that come our way and we check it every 30 min. or so.

We don't notice anymore, but the rocking movement is constant.
To make it to the other side of the room takes getting pushed side to side at least twicw against the kitchen and the table long chair.

11.48pm and we near the beginning of the 8th day or also, Sunday December 6th, 2009.
As you might guess, in the ocean makes no difference whether is Sunday, Monday or any other day. The shops are never open, there is no traffic, we are not late or early for anything and no one is waiting for us. You don't need to plan ahead not do you feel that you are getting behind.
The only reference with the world is the wind.
We look at the GPS or feel the wind or look behind at the trail left by the boat, then we can tell whether we are moving at 5, 6 or 7 knots.
That is all and is Ok.

11.20am: The radio was not working but finally, may be due to the vibration, the outside speakers started shouting. We now have some great music playing mixing with the sound of the waves in the background. The sun is out and only a few clouds at the distance. the temperature about 30 degrees and we are softly moving at about 6 knots.
i will let you conclude how we feel.

7.00pm: the wind dropped under 10 knots. This is the second time that the winds disappear to a point that turning the motor on is required. The good thing is that, for some reason that I am yet to find out, in the sailor's dictionary "No wind translate to "Free drinks" so I am sitting here typing the last sentence as my drink approaches me.
Somewhere in the Atlantic ocean. time 4.45pm. Logging out.
