Happy New Year everyone! In about two hours I'll be broadcasting om the VHF, "All ships all ships, happy new year!". Hopefully I get some responses!
We are now 1150 nm from Cape Verde and 1050 nm from St Martin, so we are half way! There's no turning back!
Today, we have done some calls to our loved ones at home, had a fancy carbonara dinner and tried to hide from the strong sun. The waves are calmer and longer now than before, which makes our lives a lot easier (especially while cooking). The winds have been strong, between 20 and 28 knots the last two-three days, so we're making a lot of progress with about 180nm per 24h! These winds are probably gonna last until the end so we are counting with another week until we get there. Our biggest problem is remebering to drink enough water when it's so sunny..!

Lots of love from Zimba! //Emma

Had a good sleep this evening, totally missed dinner :) Oh we caught two fish and had them for dinner. Emma seasoned it up and reheated for me and it was great ... I think we could have gotten Anne to eat it :)

So the trades are again blowing and building ... very smooth... we sometimes surf the 1 mete waves to 8 kts ... As they get bigger I think we'll surf even more.

We blow up the spinnikar today, Marcus and Emma are still tring to fix it ... a little more time needed.
