Meltem switched off



Hell of sunburn

It's time for one to rest, for another one to helm and to the other to send the daily news. The meltem wind did not keep up its promises and the last 24 hours have been soft and light. We will thus win an additional night under the stars and we're cont complaining about it, not at all...!!

Under the stars and the moon which will soon be full to bursting.
We are getting nearby Egypt, and we are sailing at roughly 60miles from its coast. By the way we have passed a trawler with 20 sailors on board, apparently quite amazed to see this curious board decorated by a funny bovine. Bovine, which as you will see on the picture, has taken a hell of sunburn.

We should reach Alexandria tomorrow morning. At what time, this is a different story. If Brice carries on tacking like that and surfing at 18kn, we will get there during the night, which we are not really keen on.
However if the wind lightens as last night, we should not arrive there before mid-day. This is the beauty of sailing, with its part of uncertainty.


Kito Hervé and Brice
