Vi har nu været afsted i knapt 24 timer, og kl. 12 GMT var vi på 26"27,197'N, 17"19,492'V.
Temperaturen er 24 grader i luften og vandet 22 grader. NØ vind 5 m/s.
Vi har ikke megen vind, så vi har gået 8 timer for motor, og vi søger mod syd for at fange vinden.
(Klik på billedet for at se det i stort).
Det har til gengæld været lidt for begivenhedsrigt allerede. Kl. 8 i morges knækkede faldet til vores code zero (den store genoa til lettere vind) og sejlet faldt i vandet. Code zero hjælper os i svag vind, så vi behøver den lige nu. Nu har vi haft hejst Lars i toppen af masten, hvor han har fæstnet en blok således at vi nu fører et nyt fald udenfor på masten.
Efter et par hektiske timers arbejde er sejlet oppe nu!
I de første par dage er vi 2 på vagt om natten og 1 på vagt om dagen.
Vi har lidt problemer med at holde satellittelefonen med forbindelse over længere tid, så det kan være, at vi ikke lige har den tændt og online sålænge som planlagt.
Alle er vel og ved godt mod.
K.h.
Ali, Lars, Mathias og André
And in English:
Left Las Galletas yesterday, Friday the 23th of November at 14:25 GMT.
We have been sailing for about 24 hours and at 12 GMT we were at 26"27,197'N, 17"19,492'V.
The temperature is 24 degrees celtius and the water is 22 degrees celtius. Wind from NE - 5 m/s.
We don't have much wind, so we have been using the engine for 8 hours - going south to catch the trade wind.
(Click the picture to enlarge).
At 8 this morning the halyard for the Code Zero (big foresail) broke and the sail dropped into the water. The Code Zero is helping us when the wind is weak so we really need it right now. So Lars had to go to the top of the mast to fix it. So after a couple of hours the Code Zero is up again.
The first days we will be 2 on watch during the night and 1 during the day.
We do have some problems with the satellite phone. I won't stay connected for so long time, so maybe it's not on as long as planned every day.
Everybody is well and in good spirits.
:-) Ali, Lars, Mathias and André
