The last 3 Days on board were rather busy nature and filled with deferred Horns & Megaphones. Meanwhile I the contents of the lockers (Stowage under deck) have turned from left to right and have partly funded amazing to days, Katja has been devoted to the administrative part. Almost full 2 Days you wrote emails and reports, does the filing, Brought order to the ship, Loaded washing machines and by the way your hobby, so to speak “to compensate”, der Zubereitung von Köstlichkeiten gefrönt 🙂

The myself assigned tasks were, after all, not even by board. In addition to a regularly conducted quality control of the galley and Keksbestände including coffee and cappuccino bar, I also had to bring our boat to water and to test with different engine variants. To be optimal, the 6 Hp Yamaha outboard proven because the boat so literally flies `s water. Unfortunately I have no release of Katja get a 15 PS Motor zu testen 🙂 Weiterhin wurde der Tauchflaschenkompressor mit Benzinmotor und eine mit Benzin betriebene Motorwasserpumpe in Betrieb genommen. Our dock neighbors had the nose pretty full of many waste gases. Especially, weil die Geräte ausgiebig im Vollgasmodus getestet worden sind 🙂

But woe when the night came and lay down the veil of darkness and hypocritical rest of the harbor…… Shortly after midnight they came, the winged Vampire. Mosquitoes! The first night I had to dream the feeling when I woke up and my left foot sole itching violently one could also say, burned! From then on, I was warned and had pulled me despite the sweltering heat the blanket over both ears, to ward off the attack of pests. Again, this bright buzzing sound from the center of the room coming closer and closer, went out the next successful blood donation to the vampires of my arm. Damn how the itch! No idea, whether the beasts here Tabasco have the trunk but the sting was almost the fun part in this drama. No chance of escape. Only the tip of the nose peeped out of the ceiling into the open. It did not help! I felt like a pin cushion in a home economics school on Open Day.

Only one thing has made me very suspicious. Why do the beasts my blood and not that of my wife? Could I but have always been very safely be, that Katja was the victim of desire and I had a peaceful sleep and am spared from all forms of perforations. How often I have Katja in my descriptions to the amusement of all as “Opferanode” referred! (a sacrificial anode is made of zinc and is the underwater hull to protect stainless steel parts such as. the drive shaft mounted. The zinc is to protect (galvanisches Element) sacrificed stainless steel!) That this was indeed different times in!
My in-laws “Opferanode” had namely from the nose to the sole “Antibrumm” rubbed and thus leave her husband completely unprotected mosquitoes. With relish, she then gave breakfast to top, that they previously 3 Gnats in the bathroom had seen and wanted to play it safe. Not so bad this strategy. Fies but all because they did not tell me until today, where they hid the bottle. So ein Biest 🙂

In a few hours we are secluded and overnight, the “Cup Fisterra” happen. We ca. 90 To master nautical miles and hope against tomorrow at noon in “Ria de Muros” to arrive. We want to once again moor in a marina, as we await the passage of a low pressure area with strong winds. Then we want to go in a bay for a few days at anchor.

Finally, an advice to all captains: Unterschätzt bloß Eure Frauen nicht 🙂
