A new adventure ahead

Farewell, Mogan!
After a hectic day with preparations we were ready to start the journey towards the Cabo Verdes at 16.00 Friday the 23rd of January.
We had a wonderful start with the wind about 40 degrees from behind, and with full main and genoa we did 5 – 7 knots. The swell was a moderate 1-2 meters, and life on board was quite comfortable. The sun went down in the sea, we enjoyed a good warm meal, and the night shifts started. The first night our first problem occurred. The water tank emptied itself into the bilge, and we had no water for cleaning and shower. Luckily the Captain had installed a genius system with a 42liter drinking water tank that was the first to be filled when we start the water maker. So the problem was reduced to not being able to shower.
