Welcome aboard Team Plastique
this 2nd of December 2012
this night I crossed something nice
the tropic of Capricorn
which by the way is my sign
by 23 degrees
and 27 minutes south
tropic of Capricorn crossed during the night
here are the conditions outside, on the other camera, the boat ....
is at close hauled, between upwind and beam reach
with a strong swell
approximatively 2 meters sometime
and wind between 15 and 20 knots
I'm under staysail and 1 stage reefed mainsail
everything is fine aboard, I just had my breakfast
with some toasted bread and jam again
and white coffee
this is the daily routine
The ocean is always wonderful, it's great
this night I've been able to have a great view at the south cross
it's pleasant, it changes from the northem hemisphere sky
last view of the boat from the outside
I gotta maneuver a lot
cause the wind is always shifty
in strength and direction
it requires some intervention from me
mostly on the sails, you gotta grind or release the sheets
goodbye, see you next time and have a good day, ciao ciao !
