5 February

The logbook says this is the date. I just don't know what day it is. We have no contact with the outside world except for switching on the satellite phone every other day. What a delight if there is a message from a loved one! Our spirits are still high despite a tough sail and very little sleep. We still not in the new rhythm of sleeping for 3 hours and sailing for three. For the first time since we left, there is a glimpse of sun shine today. Johan taps everything out of the wind by butterflying the screecher and genoa. With a 2,3 knot wind he sailed 5,2 knots. Luckily the current is also pushing us forward.
