The seasick crew

Last breakfast and swim in San Blas before the long stretch to Colombia started. After some preparations such as lifting the dinghi on the boat and tightening everything that was loose, we left the protected island area at noon and headed to the open sea.
As the wind blows from Northeast, pretty much the direction we are heading, we needed to turn on the engine in addition to the sail to keep the hight.
Long story short: wind was strong, waves about 3 meters high and very short and we went almost straight against them. After 2 hours, the cockpit was empty except for the captain who had to steer the boat, and everyone, including the captain, the cook and the dog, was seasick in their beds - some bad, some not so bad. Michl was the first feeding the fish followed by the dog Wilson. We didn't leave our horizontal position until noon next day.Les mer
