September the 20th:
These days everything is pretty quiet on Ocean Diva: no accidents, no night watches, no rain, no dolphins, we ’re just enjoying sailing, islands and rocky scenery. Although every time the trimaran comes closer to Ocean Diva, the races, the parties and crazy games begin... the good part is that Dragonfly can try as hard as she wants but really is no match for Ocean Diva! Not only is Ocean Diva much faster, but she also has the best crew!
Last night we anchored nearby Camarinas, Spain. Ocean Diva and Dragonfly were tied to each other for a nice barbeque dinner. John was frying potatoes with a secret recipe from his grandmother which took ages and never saw the dinner table. Fortunately Kristof was in charge of the barbeque and we could eat some lovely steaks and chicken. After dinner some of us took a refreshing dip in the 15 degrees ocean, which is pretty cold, at least that is what they told us :-). Next morning we finally ate John’s potatoes, except for Lynn who insisted that eating potatoes in the morning is not possible.
Now we are almost reaching Portugal, which is a very exciting moment for Marianne. One of her favourite things to do on Ocean Diva is changing flags. She loves the formal and ceremonial moment. So at the moment nice breeze.. some music.. cup of tea.. we could think of worse things to do!
