Under the heavy sun



Little nap

We left at dawn from our mooring in Comino, on Malta's chain island. We are using the engine since this morning, expect for a few hours under gennaker.

The wind should come back tonight and hold on until we reach the pyramids. It would be great as our gazole gauge is lowering. In the meanwhile, Groupe Bel is under "the heavy sun".

The sun awning, quickly made before leaving Port Camargue, is now up-and-running. Fenders are used as ustensils in the cockpit living room, perfect for naps (see picture), Brice's cinema room seems adequate for long video-watching nights (oh yes, we have forgotten the tarot playing cards). The icing machine is the only one missing.

We passed a bunch of cargos at moored in the Maltaisian territorial waters (12mn). What can they be waiting for, in the middle of the mediterranéean sea, probably a destination or a shipment. During this crisis period, cargos are not used to their maximum capacities.

Kito, Brice & Hervé
