A spinnaker sail
With the genaker rigged as a spinnaker we have a "silk-sail" on flat seas, just a light breeze, all day.
We start with an "English breakfast", still enjoying all the fresh stores: fried eggs, ham, tomatoes. And juice, coffee, and our solid German rye-bread (Ørnulf thinks they´ll double as anti-pirate clubs, as well!)
At noon we measure 106n.miles the last 24 hrs. As opposed to 96 the first day. The spinnaker, up all day, comes down before the night-watches. The wind dies to a whisper and we motor-sail a few hours.
The moon lights yp the sea; it´s as "bright as day" and only the major stars and planets can compete with the white glare.
