First day at sea

Norbert on IY Open60AAL

I personally want to say THANK YOU so much to all of you πŸ‘±β€β™€οΈπŸ§”πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦°πŸ‘©πŸ‘±β€β™‚οΈπŸ‘§πŸ‘¦πŸ‘¨β€πŸ¦³, who came at the departure and also who joined online on the live video or who wrote motivating messages πŸ€žπŸ‘πŸ™πŸ˜Š. It was really a departure full of emotions!! πŸ™‚

First day at sea and I have to get used to the completely different life again β›΅πŸŒŠπŸ’¦. Being alone, surrounded only by the ocean 🌊, sometimes a bird comes by πŸ˜ƒ. The opposite to yesterday, where I was surrounded by many people at the departure. The weather keeps changing, sunny, cloudy and raining… β˜€β˜πŸŒ¦πŸŒ§ The first night was rather calm, good to get into it again.

Nothing changed since yesterday, only around 4 knots of wind from W and flat sea, so I sail very slowly towards Les Sables and hope

From time to time…

Against all expectations the AIS comes to life now and again and gives me at least 3 hours of sleep with many interruptions.⏰ Other instruments

Let’s make it short…

Nothing new on board, nothing changed, hacking my way to the south of Ireland, and then will see how to make the crossing. Heavy tacking,
