Sea Day - For good or bad, a holiday / See Tag - gut oder schlecht, ein Urlaubstag

Hello Folks,
So, some of you may be wondering what we do on board all day. Firstly, there is a watch roster and somebody is on watch at all times.
When not sleeping or on watch, there is a lot of reading, philosophizing or relaxing, taking place.
You really have the feeling life slow nice down on board.
Everything takes it´s time, just like our way today. Unfortunatly the wind comes from the direction we want to go, so obligate us to head out a little bit more east.
Our last 24 hours where not so good becouse of the wrong direcction of the wind, but do not be worry it will change again!.
Everybody is also busy tuning up his sailing skills.
Then somebody has to cook our "only" set meal "together", dinner. We have quite a selection of frozen meats. We have also vegetables and dry stuff and hopefully soon plenty of fish. So, around lunch time we decide who is the cook for the evening meal and what that meal will be. Most of the time someone takes the initiative. Everybody helps. We have no pre-cooked meals so each meal is prepared from the raw ingredients.
We also spend time on deck marvelling at the seascape.
Close in to the Brazilian coast we will start seeing more bird life and, hopefully, some dolphin.
Well, as the Santa Maria Australis sails, our greetings to all the readers and our thanks for follow us.
Your Crew
