Saturday morning December 11th

Gooooooood Moooooorning my good readers.
Its Saturday morning December 11th and we have been (floating) in the Atlantic Ocean 13 days. (in or on the Atlantic?, Tyler help me one more time with this) Well I hope is ON the Atlantic Ocean.....
The captain informed us that we are moving at a formidable pace, I think otherwise sometimes......

Now ........the Good News:
We just crossed the mile 1000 and I am trying to figure out if we are now at the 999 or 1001. That will depend, don't you think?
To find the solution to such difficult dilemma, I have decided to throw a ball ( of course, all green, biodegradable, tasty and delicious from a fish point of view) on the ocean.
I waited and waited.....The ball neither go up or down, I therefore can not answer my question but what I do conclude is that the world must be flat and everyone has been wrong for half of humanity's history. If not completely flat, we are definitely sitting on a flat spot.

Other than that, life is pretty much the same here than in your part of town. We had dolphins come and visit yesterday. We offered them cookies with no luck.
Beautiful sunrise and do not expect any rain. As for the winds, they come and go. The best time to ride seems to be after midnight when we get pushed by winds over 20knots.

Now the "let you decide" News":
We ran out of minutes on the Iridium phone for over 24 hours and felt like Turkey right before thanksgiving floating (sorry sailing) on the flat ocean with no communication.
The Genova (front sail) fell in the water and when trying to recover it, Fernando, sitting over the sail, was picked up by an air draft and flew from one side to another over 3 feet high. We are hoping he can show us how to do that again but after he improves his landing procedure.
We fish four "Dorados" and now hope to catch a Tuna soon. I guess that is what happens when you get toooo much of a goood thing. You want something else.....aren't we spoiled.

Now....... the bad News:
Sorry the catch tray is empty.

And the thought of the day
-----------------------------------------
Suddenly, looking at the immense ocean
All I know, all I think, all I am only exist if and only if there is a world to share it with

I think therefore I am, Descartes said.
I share therefore I exist, I would add.

We take care of the thinking,
and with your help, we will Exist.
So, Stay with us.
-----------------------------------------
And those are the news.
The group is doing great, everyone together yet each one doing its thing.

  1. Dear reiner (please forgive the confindece that I'm taking);
    reading your posts -i do really enjoy with your writer skills. They are fantastic- i've realizedthat you don't float IN or ON. You are floating above. As high as your inspiration can take you, so we too.

    Thank you!!.

    Enjoy the trip and let the wind be with you all.

    P.D. I promise that sooner or later (better sooner) I'll practise my english in order to be more concise and even more elocuent. By now I must resign with my apache style!!
