Description of the day

This has been a great day! It feels like the first day when we didn't have to fight the wind, the weather was calm and comfortable. Suddenly we ran out of electricity and discovered that our solar panels had stopped charging the battery packs. A restart of the electrical system seems to have fixed the problem, and we are now running with minimal power until the batteries are fully charged again. During the afternoon we saw a pod of dolphins about 80 meters from the boat. Beautiful!

We have received questions about food: We are sponsored by 24 Hour Meals, which provide food packs for outdoor activities as well as for the Swedish Armed Forces. We eat their wet portion packs that provide good energy and actually taste great. And yes, they have vegan meals too! :-P

Coalition Clean Baltic- Save the baltic porpoise

Porpoises spend a lot of their time looking for food and hunting. A porpoise cannot last more than about three days without food before starving to death. This means that they are very vulnerable to changes in the ecosystem if it affects the availability of prey.

Aphorism

The will to win means nothing if you haven’t the will to prepare.
