An indoor day


Plenty of wind:25knots, plenty of pouring rain. The grey clouds like huge sponges. Whose squeezing them right over "Babette"?
An indoor day. We bounce along, goosewinged sails. The cheery sound of egg, ham and tomatoes frying in the galley. We have a vhf-chat with "Jobber" who relays to "Sedna" on the shortwave. A cosy morning.

Around noontime we have a bit of fiddling with the sails as the wind suddenly turns off. And then turns about-face. Now we're leaning on our starboard side. No longer poled-out, we're roughly following just east of our rumbline.

And in the midst of all this sailing business we manage to rescue the carrot cake out of the oven, just in the nick o'.
