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.

Rain is welcome. It cools you down, provides a shower and rises the laundry. (the sheet at the back)

atl12
Another rip in the old genoa. I've just spent two days stitching the bottom of it.

bd
The junk yard on the back deck of Aliisa. The dinghy must go. Since the Wind vane took its place, I've had nowhere to put it.
