Two old friends
Today we set the big jib, our number one. As we have been sailing in higher latitudes and with stronger winds in the last few years, it has been a long time since I have had up both Topsail and Big jib! It feels like we have two old friends back on board. They look amazing and are working hard to get us to where we want to go!
Winds have gradually decreased and are shifty in both strength and direction. Waves and swell have decreased as well, although the swell is still pretty big, it is also long and comfortable.
Pear compote has been made (big succes, thank you hiltje) and bananabread for lunch and smoothies with banana, pear and orange are now the standard. Pretty nice. Next up are our pineapples and some tomatoes.. Strange combination. Any suggestions on this one? The pineapple will not be any problem, it is every bodies favorite. For the tomatoes I was thinking of drying some of the tomatoes or making more chutney…
