November 4th, 7 am

Yesterday was nice. Wind slowed down and the sea was smooth (well, less rough). Wind was from the North so we placed the sails in a scissor with the wicker pole. During the night, I had two watches, one from 7 to 10 pm and the other from 4 to 7 am. During my first shift, a flying fish came right at my feet on the deck, we kept it to use it as a lure later. At the start of my second shift, the wind was from the NE and blowing at 25-30 knots so we removed the wicker pole to change our course. The boat was going very fast, with a good heel and water splashes. Almost like in a rac`:) This morning we noticed that we were in front of a bunch of boats, having known that before we could've registered in the race class!
