130 NM to go ... we are very close :) arrival estimated: Thursday early morning ...can't wait for my café au lait with croissants au beurre, nom de diou...

Still no land yet but more activity on the water, mainly fishing boats.

Weather is cloudy but nice, not cold and we have a little wind pushing us West.

Yesterday, we celebrated 4th of July, by drinking 1 beer each and having some Belgium Chocolate... such a luxury cruise here.

Allez les bleus...

Saturday July 1

Making some progress here...633 nautical miles to go. So a few nights ago during my watch, it was dark and I was probably sleeping at the wheel (don't tell the other guys). Suddendly, I am hit by something in the face, something wet and like jelly...like a snowball...in the middle of the ocean. I switch on my flash light and
there is that flying fish shacking on the deck... Really wierd animal...a fish with wings like a bird. And the poor guy managed to hit my face in that big ocean...I put it back to the water...hope he is fine :)
