We've been sailing continuously for almost three days. It was a lovely, warm and sunny day yesterday with a constant cooling calm breeze blowing, creating some lovely gentle rolling seas.

I decided to lay on the foredeck for the afternoon. There, I watched our large red spinnaker sail dancing gently with the wind. Pulling our boat slowing, surely and gracefully through the water and to our final destination. The calm gentle waves played music softly in my ears. With this, I found my mind constantly drifting off into a very, very thoughtful state.

Thinking of: The good and bad things in my life. The happy and sad things in my life. Opening and closing doors in my mind, a real good clearing out and de-cluttering process which really surprised me. Finally, I felt a glowing and growing ball of positivity building within me.

Wow, this was really an unexpected bonus of this trip and what a final conclusion. I can't wait to get home and start using some of this newly founded positive energy.

I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart - Mikkel, Bertram, Jan and Kristian for all the boating tips and chats on our way, plus all the other back room staff who have made this dream come true for me, and all the sponsors, thank you, thank you. I would also like to thank my fellow crew members - Hans, Emil, Jakob, Marian, and Giovanni - for making this a real life experience I will always remember. Thank you all so much.

I wish you all well, happiness and good health for your onward lives' journeys.

Onward and upwards.

Report from Bosun Bertam:

Jamaica to Colon, 600 nautical miles in just under 80 hours - a flying average of almsot 8 knots. Our trusted main sail and our new spinnaker had us speeding to the land of the Canal where we are now waiting in Colon to pass over to the western side of the Americas. As we are waiting, we are preparing the first provisions for the Pacific crossing out to the Galapagos and even changing our mail sail to our strong older one. We want to keep the new one pretty for our arrival on the other side of the Pacific! Yes, always we have to plan ahead, even for months!

But first things first, and today the crew is having a much deserved day off after the last sail and new preparations. Local time on board is 10:30 and our current position is unknown to me, since all our navigation software is shut down here in port - Shelter Bay Marina on the eastern side of the Panama Canal.
