Dragi vsi.
prvih 300 oceanskih milj je bilo trdo prisluženih. Ker sem se pritoževala, da ni dovolj vetra, mi je Eol takoj poslal 20-25 vozlov. Ker imajo nekje v Alaski nevihto, je bil tudi val malo večji od običajnega. Pa tudi hladni so. Vprašajte Ricka, ki ga je vceraj sredi spanja zalil val, za katerega res ne vem, od kje se je pobral… Prej in potem namreč nič podobnega. Tudi vreme je bilo sivo in otožno. Jaz sem sanjala o jadranju v kopalkah, tu pa se skrivam v puloverje, vetrovke, nogavice in kapo! Si mislite?!? To ni tisto, kar so mi obljubljali v brošuri!
Danes pa je vreme boljše, celo sonček je prvič pokukal v tem tednu. Mogoče mi bo celo uspelo posušiti blazine ki so se premočile skupaj z Rickom in avtopilotom. Tudi tega sušimo in upamo da pride k sebi.
Čez dan res uživam, lepo mi je gledati to modrino okrog sebe, valove, ki se lomijo, in obzorje, kjer že nekaj dni ne vidim nobene barke. Ponoci poslušam glasbo, ker je guganje preveč neudobno, da bi počela karkoli drugega.
Danes plujeva mimo otokov Socorro. Baje so čudoviti za potapljanje. Midva bova pa že tako ali tako imela dolgo plovbo, zato se ne bova ustavljala. Calypso lepo pluje s 5 vozli hitrosti in jaz sem se končno privadila na guganje barke, da mi ni treba več jemati zdravil. Skratka, vse je dobro.
Kako pa je z vami? Kaj je novega?
Če je kdo rodil (A…?), se poročil, če je padla kašna vlada ali kakšno drevo, mi lahko pišete in me ažurnirate na sailingcalypso. Vesela bom vsakega pisma.

All is well aboard Calypso. We had 2 very ugly grey windy swelly uncomfortable days but today it is much better. We even got a ray of sunshine. Good, because I really need it, to dry my captain, the saloon cushions and the autopilot. They all had an unexpected shower in the middle of the night. It was not fun, I tell you.
I so far don’t like the nights. It is not like night sailing under the stars in the Sea od Cortez or Australia. It is boring and ugly. There is so many noises which in the day we ignore sitting in the cockpit looking out into the blue. But in the night all I can hear is cricking and waves slapping into the hull and it gets scary. So I listen to some music because being seasick I cannot read or write. I will try with a movie tonight because I feel better. Btw. I love Sturgeon!! Usually I am completely green in big seas, but today I even volonteered and went on the bowsprit to sort out some problems with the furling line. I was flying high up and back down dipping the feet into the sea and I didn’t get sick. So whoever you are, mister Sturgeon, thank you for inventing the best drug in the world.
amen.
