1st day (Sailing on high see)

Finally we left Newcastle first in the morning of the 6th of June. In the first couple of hours we had really nice
headwind and were sailing at speeds up 9-10 knots. It happened as well, what I was a bit afraid of; I´ve got see sick and were close to vomit,but my pills saved my life...:)

In the afternoon it started raining and the wind calmed down that much, that ocasionally we had to start the engines in order to keep a minimum speed. According to the GPS plotter we have 2 days and 1 hour to sail to the Shetland´s.

The crew is splitted in 3 shifts changing every 3 hours. Our teams first shifts were from 6p.m. to 9 p.m. and during the night from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. I´wrote this lines just after finishing my night shift, so I go to sleep now, because the next shift is waiting at noon.
