Paula helming the Atlantic. Light winds and blue sky.
Crossing the line. Champagne breakafast with fried sausage, onion, eggs and toast.
The daily entry in the logbook. 65 miles apart.
While the wind vane did very well in steering us, it still required a lot of fiddling and adjusting.

Dolphins were much bigger in Atlantic, compared to the tiny Indian Ocean ones...
Sun sets at Tobago. Our Friday morning arrival ends up being at midnight.
Our only lightweight sail, a 25-year-old Genoa needed several meters of stiching during the Atlantic.
The SSB is dead. Why? No idea. It started working later, after I simply opened the cover and closed it again.

Another rip in the old genoa. I've just spent two days stitching the bottom of it.

Shaping the rudder for the wind vane in Cape Town.
Shower in the heat of the equatorial Atlantic.

Saint Helena from a few different angles.
Oscar, Leroy and Rosie from Saint Helena Yacht Club honoring us with a visit.
