We're back in San Blas, a year later, after 3 days at sea relatively calm, although long and sometimes difficult, also because of the fact that they broke (altri!) two instruments important to navigation, or the autopilot and the indicator of wind direction. Patience for the wind direction indicator, even though I at the helm I feel greatly missed, and if it is true that in pace upwind (as in a day past) I can help it, it is equally true that downwind and especially downwind or downwind full I do not feel calm at the helm without a vane.
serious loss, however, is that the autopilot, because in fact the failure of the autopilot off virtually Alessio to its total self-sufficiency in handling all ages and condition, and forces him at the helm the whole time. In these days of sailing, when it was necessary for me to take the helm to allow Ale or maneuvering on the sails on the route, the girls were very brave and obedient, remaining in place in the cockpit alone, however, while surfing through the very long run out of autopilot is not really the best.
During the long voyage yesterday (7 hours) we caught a sgombretto for dinner, the excitement of the big boys, even though, as always, you always have to deal with the grief of these silver fish kill, including applications for Anna: "Mom, but now he's dead?" "Yes Anna" "But why is he dead?" "Fish out of water because they can not live" so why we pulled out of the water? ". In short, the boat will also learn the system maximum, life, death, missing only the miracles, but really, to want to look closely, there are also those, sometimes!
