Half way!

We've passed the half-way mark. From Mindelo, Cape Verdes, to Bridgetown, Barbados it's just over 2000nm. We have under 1000 left! More celebrating. Today with Norwegian "Rømmegrot" (sour cream porridge). Without the sour cream.

The sea is calming down. The wind's still up so sailing is good. With "Lille Per" steering Oernulf reads Gabriel Garcia Marquez' "One hundred Years of Solidude". This is hopefully only about 18 days of solitude!
I'm reading Yann Martell's "Life of Pi" as we and our circle world move west. I recognize scenes of flying fish and dorados. Hope there's no Royal Bengal Tiger aboard our little boat. Not sure about maybe a brown bear? There's someone aboard who's getting very clever at fishing and someone has been at the blueberry jam again.
Hmm?
