Bumpy road, day 4.
So the last few days we had very uncool winds. Straight on the nose, forcing us to either head for Mauritania or Greenland, not really getting anywhere. This morning we got to meet the sinner in person, going through an intense low pressure with thunder, rain and lots of wind. I've never in my life heard such an extreme sound of thunder, the ocean really makes things different.
Against all odds, though, my bed is still intact, and so is the crew and the cereal bowls.
We're happy to be through the worst, sailing in good speed in a favorable direction, and hopes are again high for getting to Martinique before Christmas! Telling from what I heard over the SSB-radio, most of the boats are ahead of us and still have rather strange weather... wish us luck.
Nevertheless, tradewinds are hopefully coming up for the weekend, and we still haven't run out of chocolate. In other words, life is good.
Ellie out.
