Sunday, 12th April Day 5 – Easter with Walvis Bay on the Horizon

Today is Sunday morning the 12 of April, academic day 5.

Last night we have traveled 128 sea miles.
We are on the SV Concordia south from Walvisbay and our nearest cost is Namibia.

We are traveling at a speed of 1.9 kn and the following sails are set:

Course
Lower Top
Upper Top
T-Gallant
Royal
Main

Our course is 55 ̊, the wind is coming from south-east and it is wave movement 1 on the scale.
The water temperature 17C.
Today everyone of the South African Team felt fine, none of us where seasick

I am in Watch 5, which is from 22:00-24:00.
On my watch I could already see Walvisbay on the horizon.
Later we had to do sail manouvers, where some of the South African team members climbed aloft up to the T-Gallant. We took the sails in, to prepare them for anchoring in front of Walvisbay.
