Note: This was originally posted as one long post covering the passage from La Gomera to Dakar Senegal.
I have split it up to post daily.
The weather hasn’t changed all that much except that the wind died today so we had to motor for most of
the day. In the ten hours our engine was on we covered more distance than the preceeding 3 days
combined!
Mary Joyce, one of the trainees was putting messages in bottles and throwing them overboard today. Each
one has a note with the latitude and longitude of our current position and a description of who we are and
where we are heading plus her email and contact info. She also puts one of the ship’s business cards in.
She says one of the bottles she put over off the coast of Spain was found and they publiished the note in
the local paper. It got a good response with lots of emails when she hit shore.
We are now sailing again with all square sail set so it should be a nice quiet evening.
Thanks for reading.
KJ
