I finally decided to don’t wear my glasses on board. Well, it’s not that my eyes have improved, but it just doesn’t make any difference here. There is nothing I could see better with glasses. Since they haven’t any impact at the moment, I thought it may be more convenient to just don’t wear them. I cleaned the deck with sea water again today in order to keep moving and cooked spaghetti al sugo mediterraneo based on a recipe I got years ago from my Italian friend Michele. So the catch of the day has been canned tuna today ;-), accompanied by tomato sauce with olives and onions, yummy 🙂
One thing that has changed a lot are the nights. We are now around full moon, and hence have much more light at night (while I will continue to have no light in my cabin due to the cable fire). Watching the moon at night and his reflections on the sea is quite nice, and after moon set, we often have a clear and dark sky with a lot of stars. It’s hard to get this impressions on a photo, since the boat is moving all the time, but at least I tried …
Beside, our board entertainment program got enriched again: the casino opened and we started gambling. We played Skat, a traditional German card game. The winner got a shift hour from the looser. I did neither win nor loose, but had a lot of fun.
