“We had two days of tight through, quite pleasant and, above all, without forcing the boat. This afternoon it began to get through and will gradually go aft. We expect to have gusts of up to 40 knots and waves of about 5 meters. I believe the Copernicus and his crew will negotiate this with dignity.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“Paula helps a lot with the organization and her experience. She already has many miles traveled, of which a good percentage has been with me. For my part, I do what I can. I try to make sure that we are all comfortable and I repair what I can too. Yesterday, for example, the pump in the master bathroom broke and I was busy for several hours until it worked again (there’s nothing like the bathroom itself). We try to take advantage to have the ship in good condition and well at sea for when the war comes.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“As I said, it seems that we will have 4 or 5 days of sternwind (maybe more), but the weather can change. Here what I think you have to do is monitor the storms to catch them in the north and be aware of their trajectory.<\/p>\n

In this hemisphere, the direction of the storms is clockwise. They move from west to east, but sometimes turn a little to the north. You have to be aware so as not to go up or down too much, just in case.<\/p>\n

The temperature is slowly dropping. As the sun goes down, the temperature drops rapidly several degrees. I’m still in shorts, but in 3 or 4 days I’ll start dressing as a sailor.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

“This ocean navigation is one of the most serious that can be done. Keep in mind that we are going to the south of the world, where they are now in winter and do not stop passing storms one after the other. In addition, being so extensive, it will take between 18 to 25 days. We cannot set sail in a specific window, as the weather is not as accurate and we must build defeat as we go. This is wonderful, intriguing and with some degree of risk.”<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
