Ieri ho scherzato dicendo che sarei rimasto a letto, rifiutandomi di alzarmi con quelle temperature. Scherzo durato 1 secondo! Ma oggi ho pensato “perché non far riposare un po’ di più Cami, senza farla alzare alle 6:30?” Così ho fatto. Tuta da missione sulla luna, cerata a coprire il tutto e fuori. Chiudo il tambuggio in modo che sotto rimanga caldo. Mollo la cima del gavitello e parto. Mi ha scaldato il cuore pensare alle due signorine riposare tranquille al calduccio delle coperte e prendermi qualche ora con Julia per fare miglia verso casa. Il tempo è letteralmente volato. Ho aperto Genoa, fatto 7,3 nodi per 7 minuti e richiuso perché morto completamente il vento. A una certa ora sento rumori provenire dal tambuggio ed eccole lì le signorine di bordo. Fresche e riposate. Navighiamo facendo lo slalom tra tronchi di ogni genere e dimensione fino ad arrivare al canale. Durante il giorno i ruoli si invertono: io sotto a fare call e lei fuori al timone. Passeremo qualche giorno qui aspettando di rientrare a Lignano il 5 ottobre. Domani ho 7 call. Decisamente da sistemare il bilanciamento e la distribuzione delle ore di allineamento, soffocano la produttività! Ora andiamo a recuperare ore di sonno e caldo. Che meraviglia il riscaldamento, non lo usavamo da un anno! Ci vediamo domani marinai, mi butto a riposare. Buon vento ai sogni! Andrea

We had an interesting final sail on Peter's Firebird in the most wind I sailed in when in Barbados - we sailed with 2 reefs. Peter's friend Eric has a foiling waveboard and he wanted to foil behind the Firebird. In the end he managed it, but there was lots of falling in at the beginning. It was hard work for Peter and I as we had to start at near zero speed, so Eric could grab the tow rope, then slowly accelerate to about 7 knots so he could get ready for lift off. Then accelerate to 10 knots very quickly, so he could lift out. And then control the speed at 10-12 rather than surge up to 15-18. But of course the wind would drop, or he'd fall in or.... but, as I say, after 2 hours he did manage to fly for maybe 30 secs. Although, if we were quick enough, we could stop and heave to after he fell in, sometimes we sailed on too far and then we had to pull in the tow rope (we discovered it was too easy to get it entangled on rudders and daggerboards), tack round and sail back. As always it was scary how quickly a head disappears from view. But interestingly we could easily see him when he was in the sun, it was when he was north of us that he became invisible (one of his sons kept a very close eye on Dad, religiously pointing to his position). Flat water helped, and lots of passing day charter cats got a bit confused by seeing a swimmer apparently a mile out to sea but happily waving!
