we have an average speed of around seven knots
the waves are pretty big
but we have them from behind
so we're we're just having fun with yesterday we play cards
we ate a lot so the passage is supposed to be three days
but since we're going too fast
we might do like two days and a half
and we're going with a full main
and full jib
one to one side one to the other
and yeah we're just enjoying it's like 7 30 a.m

i'm gonna sleep from eight to twelve
then i'm gonna take the shift from 12 to 3 or 3 30
it depends there right now the waves are pretty big
we are in front of cabo la vela
so it gets really rough up there
parents are enjoying the night sail
they want to do like long shifts
but i told them that they have to rest
so during the day we can still take shifts
we have still the little bird is still on the top of the of the saloon
of the roof
he's i think it's a little baby bird
or that is tired or i don't know
because he tried to fly like away
but the wind's too strong
it's like 15 18 knots and he barely makes any ground
so he comes back to the boat and lands
and just stays here
tomorrow morning he's still like here in the boat i'm gonna get closer to shore
and see if he flies away
if not then we'll just continue to Barranquilla
and he's gonna have a new home i guess
