Cleaning day

1 March 2014

A cleaned ship is like a clear mind. This Saturday is cleaning day on which we tidy the ship from dust and dirt. The winter clothing, like the woollen underwear and the thick pullovers, are making place for shorts and sunscreen.
Today we have a little wind, a sunny warm morning (24 C) followed by a misty sky. Ever since lunchtime we are treated with fresh showers, of which some have lightning and thunder. We speak about the warmer weather coming from the Amazon jungle, which get filled up with the cooler humidity once above the ocean, in order to flush all over us.
We will get through these circumstances, with a little help from the iron sail; more horse powers to cross them Horse Latitudes!
