We will pass the 1000NM mark in one hour and also we expect a toll station or border control in a few miles since we are then back on the electronic chart. The "Amazing Grace" already had these celebrations so they are ahead of us. It is a Broadblue 415 catamaran and they are doing really well. So is "Ca Canny", the second Broadblue. Those who have seen our pictures from Las Palmas, they were the two catamarans side by side directly behind us. The wind has died down to around 14 knots and so we are only doing 5 knots at the Moment. The RObinson is faster but their Parasailor has 125 square meters and ours only 105. In front of us there is Goldina, a Najad 57 with an Israeli crew. We brought the Parasailor down and motored for around 1 hour while checking the parasailor and having breakfast. Now it is again back up. The night was quiet and the waves got smaller also. So we all had a good night sleep. It rained a few drops but enough to wash the salt from the boat. We...

Hi, some people have asked us how Lani is doing while cruising. We are all surprised how well she is coping with the situation. What are the limitations? She can not go outside and walk around but so far she has not complained about that. She wants to go on the trampoline to jump up and down but we told her that the net is dirty and she can not go there and she accepts it. The good side of the coin is that we have a lot of time to play, read and sing with her. So we came up with some stupid things like "Commando". One says "Commando" and then "CLAP" for example and then everyone has to clap. Or "Commando pistol" and everyone has to hold his fingers like a pistol. This can go on endless and always, especially between eating breakfast or dinner. She is learning coordination by that and has a lot of fun. Also we show her all the fish and she is squeeking in enjoyment because she loves fish. Some building blocks like Lego Duplo or Fisher Price basics...

Without any fishing rod we used our permanently installed fishing net between our bows of the boat to catch this massive fish. We are not sure if we turn him into a fish curry or grill the fillets. Size does not always matter but sometimes it does!

The wind died down and we were only making around 4 knots. Since we had just finished the sausages and potato salad we thought about a donation for the sea and the gods of wind and water like Neptun, Rasmus and others. What could be better than a ritual with a donation of half a sausage? Less than 5 minutes later the wind picked up again and we were doing 7 knots. Chris said the formula: "No wind above 18 degrees and 20 knots below 18 degrees". Let´s see how long it will last! In light wind the Robinson next to us is actually faster. This sucks! So we have to have more wind.
