Rocking, rolling and re-fueling

A red sun rising in our wake. Our Dutch guardian angels to port. And a feathery breeze on the nose. The babyblue sea as calm as the kiddies' wading pool.

At 9am we've been sailing exactly one week: cause for celebration! Let's polish off the brownies. We've sailed 795nm since Mindelo in the Cape Verdes. We're still becalmed and motoring. The day starts with re-fuelling diesel, forward on the deck. Even in calm times there's always some wave that pitches or yaws you just as your aiming for the funnel.

Very funny. Have to keep the detergent handy.
