Description of the day

All night and morning we both made a heroic effort to get as far south as possible before the wind shift, to have any chance at reaching the Canaries. At sunrise, the wind picked up force and then shifted south, and after an hour we found ourselves in 15 m/s winds pushing us northwest. It became pointless and risky to row, so we decided to set up the rudder for drifting as much west as possible and get some well-deserved rest and recovery. Southernly winds are very rare in this area, but the forecast says that we will have these conditions for the coming five or six days. All we can do now is accept that we couldn't land on the Canary Islands, and refocus towards Antigua.

Echolocation is an effective way to “see” underwater because light does not travel very far under the surface.

Aphorism

Those who flow as life flows know they need no other force.
