Progress - 4 Nautical Miles a Week!
09 January 2010 | Algarve - Portugal
4 miles, two for Isabelle and two for myself. Witthout sails, engine or even oars.
No other means of propulsion than our own bodies. Ehrr, what?
Swimming! As soon as the weather permits, we're off to the municipal pool doing a mile or so of swimming, after which we play around with fins and masks. Great work-out and very good preparation for the warm tropical waters with coral reefs abundant with fish we're dreaming of. Keeping the dream alive while we almost sense the web grow between our toes and fingers, slowly transforming us into sea-dwelling mammals in close relation to dolphins and whales....
Well, you've got the picture, by now I guess? This practice is also a great remedy from the slight cabin fever (i.e. boredom) that makes it's mark on our souls after 2-3 days without leaving the boat.
By the way, it's sunny today. SUNNY! So, have ato leave you.....
