Labour Day

3 May 2016

Labour Day was celebrated with talking about sailing tactics resulting in extra muscle exercises for all of us. These exercises took place during the late evening and early morning watches when warm water rain showers were followed by wind shifts. Lowering sails, putting them up and down again and a few tacks. It made us all feel like real sailors deserving higher wages. Because we like the ‘Oosterschelde’ so much we did not protest. Most rewarding was the day after Labour Day when we woke up and saw the sails up, the sun shining and that good progress with 7+ knots in the right direction was being made. Bermuda here we come!
