I woke up this morning rolling back and forth in my bunk. I went up into the cockpit and noticed no wind. We were motoring along and swaying with the waves. The past few days were really cloudy, but today was quite sunny, so I decided to sit at the bow.
Officially now day 6 at sea, it was 4am when my alarm awoke me from a deep sleep. With eyes half shut, I walked outside to find a fresh 20 knots of breeze still from the NE.
Delos is swaying really nicely. Not too rough, not too still.. perfectly comfortable. I sank into the cushions of the saloon, ginger tea in one hand and pillows squished behind my head as I lay back and put a movie on.. Avatar.
…..We had some 1600 Nautical Miles ahead of us… We were in the Andaman Islands, India and our next destination was across the equator and into the southern hemisphere to Cocos Keeling Islands, Australia.
How did I score a part of this adventure with The Delos Crew you might ask? WELL.. it all started when I was backpacking in South America. I had noticed The Delos crew put a lucky draw to be a part of their crew for 10 days. How exciting!
Hello darling friends!
It’s been an intense time with new impressions adapting to a life at sea. First arriving on Delos; straight into work mode doing the Haul out, welcoming the rest of the crew and provisioning part one in Langkawi.
Getting our 6-month Indian visa for our sail to the Andaman Islands turned out to be way more of an adventure than I ever could have imagined!
