L’alba arriva come un bicchiere d’acqua per gli assetati: ardentemente attesa e parecchio sofferta. Fortunatamente i temporali previsti da ben 3 app meteo si sono scaricati prima di raggiungerci, perciò la notte è stata asciutta. Invece l’onda di prua, non grossa ma molto corta e frequente, ci ha accompagnati per tutta la notte, rendendo il sonno un desiderato miraggio. Sono immensamente grata della decisione strategica di fare questi trasferimenti durante il weekend, perché oggi lavorare sarebbe stato un incubo. Invece è sabato, quindi pisolini, un po’ di pesca, podcast e altri pisolini. Un delfino è venuto a nuotare pigramente alla nostra prua per qualche minuto, prima di tornare ai suoi affari del sabato. Siamo anche riusciti, cambiando tattica e rotta, ad andare per un po’ solo a vela, per poi tornare tristemente a smotorare, altrimenti entro lunedì non saremo mai a destinazione e come dicevo poco fa sarebbe alquanto complicato conciliare il lavoro con la veglia notturna. Quindi si smotora (“Giù la manetta!” Per i veri appassionati di nautica) Il tramonto oggi si presenta più roseo, nessun nuvolone nero all’orizzonte, nessuna cattiva previsione. Contiamo di sganciare Porto Rico domani sera. Ci aggiorniamo! Camilla
