Premieres on the ocean

21 July 2009 Posted by Martin

[Atlantic Ocean]
During the Atlantic crossing, the work continues, but the atmosphere is more relax, and it's also a time full of discoveries:
Animals
  • For the first time, I see dolphins, wales (let's say their water spray), flying fishes and plankton !!!!

Sport
  • Playing Basket ball ! (and losing the ball during the game...)

Food
  • Drinking desalinated water
  • BBQ in the middle of the ocean.
Rest

  • Changing time zone every 2 days.
  • sleeping under the stars, and being rocked by the waves. (and we see thousands of stars here!)

Joyeux 14 juillet!
Ce soir, le Logos Hope quitte l’Europe, et prend le cap pour les Caraïbes. On a célébré ‘ca avec Ruben, Betsy, Jérémie et Alice, les 4 autres Français à bord.

Alors que l’ on quitte Cork, nous goutons déjà à lui pluie (tropicale ;o) mais il ne manque que la température!
C’est partie pour 14 jours de mer à travers l’Atlantique. La météo nous prévoit du gros temps pour le début, mais j’ai hâte de vivre ça !

Cake Hunt

10 July 2009 Posted by Martin

[Cork, Ireland]
What a long day! To celebrate my quarter of century, several friends of the ship organized a cake hunt.
The quest was full of twists and turns: encrypted messages, hint discovery with a GPS and anonymous phone calls. After exploring the library for information and interviewing for 20 minutes the shop keeper of the shipshop  (a small shop on board), I was still empty-handed: NO CAKE.
Actually, with the cake from my work colleagues and the one from the "one year and a half on board" celebration (we celebrated it the same day with the group that joined in Kiel) my stomach was not empty. 
Finally, today I managed to get the cake, poor cake, he was in hostage in one of the freezers.

And as a gift, you know what I had? A trip to the Caribbean! Nice, isn't it? Yesterday in fact we passed  the last security audit was was required to continue to sail. We now have all the papers in our pocket, lift up the Andhor!
The departure is scheduled for July 14.
Au revoir Europe (under, the bell tower of Cork, Ireland)
Bonjour to the Caribbean islands.
