Waiting for the bridge, again.

The “stille ocean” can be very peaceful.

Saluting time!

Koningsdag!

With an hour left in our watch the call came to wear ship so it’s been a busy evening

Our quiet night watch was interrupted by a boarder.

Reminder that flags fly forward or sideways when under most points of sail, not streaming backwards like so many paintings.

We’ve found the wind, unfurled the canvas and are back sailing on a starboard tack towards Japan.

After two days of nearly becalmed winds we’ve furled all the sails and are motoring for the first time in several weeks.

Sheet and tack.

Found an unapproved belay technique.

Another night watch begins. Haven’t seen any other ships or even airplanes in two weeks.

Unfortunately one of the stun sails chaffed against the lower topsail yard and required a new patch.

Today started with another beautiful downwind stun sail morning.

Didn’t have internet for a while so we had to enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Ocean.

Almost time to start another evening watch.

Despite all that flogging canvas, we’re becalmed below the horse latitudes.

Clewed up and furled the main course to unblank the stun sails set on the foremast.

Running downwind means double stun sails.

Are you sure you’re rigging the correct stun sails for the current tack?

Another beautiful downwind sailing day.
