Week 2.

What a week!

We have two scientists onboard and we do trawls everyday. They check what is in the water but onfortunatly we will only get their results after they studied them in the labs…. Every 6 hours the captain and myself do a meteo observation and we send them them to the netherlands where they will be analysed and transformed in weather forecasts its pretty cool…. but need to catch up on my cloud knowledge hahah.

The good thing is that we then know exactly what the water temperature is for swim calls! Over 24 degrees :))

We had Easter onboard and as i would usually want to be home with my family I realize it has been years I have not been home for that. The voyage crew did an egg competition…. there were some pretty awesome ones! People have arty farty skills onboard! 😉

The past week we have been sailing really nicely with our stunsails. Average 7 knots. I love those sails even though my tough challenge was being the “in between mate” good with computers and fast in correcting charts, I want to be more on deck and enjoy this sail as much as possible.

Keep you posted in Ascension Island! Till then, ⚓️ ♥️
