Today we received our watch schedule – a really good thing. This way you get to create your own routines from the beginning, and organising your energy is much easier. From the start we had learned to deal with things as they come and to make the best of a situation. I think that we did this really well when we had our pit stop in Gilleleje marina.

Still, it was just wonderful, when we were heading out of the harbour the next morning and set course towards Samsø. What a great day we had ahead of us.

Oceans of Hope slides through the water,
The lines of the sails are tightened and slacked
At the wheel there is steering
In the galley there is cooking
The meal is ready and the table must be set

Great laughs, a joyful atmosphere
Nature with its strength and power
The sun shines
Cheeks are warm
A full head on the pillow

You reset, recharge, and you are so in the moment.

Tilstede

I dag fik vi vores vagtplan - en rigtig god ting. Man kan på den måde fra start få lavet sine egne gode rutiner, og disponeringen af ens energi lettes markant. Allerede fra start har vi lært at det er rigtig godt, at kunne tage tingene som de kommer og evne at få det bedste af situationen. Det synes jeg i høj grad, at vi formåede ved vores lille stop i Gilleleje havn.

Men hvor var det bare dejligt da vi næste morgen stævnede ud fra havnen og satte kurs mod Samsø. Sikke en herlig dag vi havde i vente;

Oceans of Hope glider gennem vandet,
sejlenes skøder hives og slækkes.
Ved rattet der styres,
i kabyssen der fyres.
Maden er klar og bordet skal dækkes.

Gode grin, en lattermild stemning
Naturen med sin styrke og magt
Solen der skinner,
røde kinder.
Mættet hoved på puden er lagt.

Man nulstiller, genoplader, og man er i den grad til stede.
