| I woke up early today. Not to bad a sleep for a
starboard listing evening (the wrong side for my bunk). Looking at the sunrise
as I hanged over he side of the boat. 20 days - the half way mark. From now we
can start counting down. Constantin started drinking again after 2 days. He
said that he felt bad. He is really straining himself. I fear fro long term
damage to his organs which is undetectable at this stage. It is like running
marathons all your life. You look good and fit and then when you grow old - you
can easily spot see a man who has run a lot of marathons in his life. In my
opinion Andriy is approaching the fasting time in the best way he can. He set
his goal. Reserves his energy and knows his limitations. You cannot make a car
run on gas fumes...Goltis spent after three days without water again. He says
that he is feeling good. At this stage my medical opinion feels worthless. He
continues as he pleases. I will only be involved in his decision making when he
cannot do so for himself...
There were some dead flying fish caught on our deck today. Bad timing on
their behalf - it must be a rare cause of "flying fish mortality" statistics.
Caught on the passing deck of a small sailing yacht deck measuring a few square
meters. What is the chance of that happening when you are able to fly over the
biggest waves in the Atlantic?
The sky was on fire as the sun fell into the sea this evening. I was
disappointed that Anatoli turned in early. No one to watch the stars with
tonight. No matter - as the clouds were dark in the skies anyway. |
