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
