The good news is that Kent and Nathan are back to normal again. The bad news is that Sharon hasn't recovered from her seasickness yet. She is doing miles better than yesterday, but is not back to normal yet. This morning Mees threw up totally unexpected. Strangely enough, that was all it took, after that he was fine. All four kids were playing happily together today.

We washed some spewed-on sheets and clothes by hand (not using washing machine on passage). It was a bit warmer than yesterday and the sea temperature has gone up to 23.7 degrees. In the morning we did some hours by mainsail and genoa and in the afternoon we put the parasailor back on. Just before my night shift started, we had to take the parasailor off, because there was not enough wind. We were fishing today, but had no luck so far, not even any nibblers.
The Black team helped the Red team today. When Adam tipped the contents of our favourite red pan overboard, we lost the whole pan to the sea… Hopefully the other half of the Red team will be back on track tomorrow.
It feels good to be at sea again, although it was really hard to leave New Zealand, where we've had such a great time and made some wonderful friends. I'm glad the Davies family is accompanying us. They are fun company and it makes the transition back to our cruising life easier on all four of us.
