My list

It is now nine days since we left Mindelo and Cape Verde. These nine days have consisted of three things: going on watch, eating and sleeping.

These nine days have also given us a lot of time to think about stuff. I have seen a lot of people making lists of things they miss at home so I thought I'd make one myself. Instead of focusing on what we don't have I'm going to list what I will miss about Gunilla.

1. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves against the boat. There are few things that are as calming as that.
2. Our chef. Getting really good food served to us day after day is really going to be missed.
3. The heat. When I hear about the very low numbers of the temperature back in Sweden I'm very happy about our current 29 degrees celsius and sunshine. Don't worry, we've had rain too.
4. Working. Even if I'm not always super happy on the watches at 3 am I will miss having something to do when I wake up.
5. All of my friends. I am a pretty social person so I will really miss to always have people around.

I will probably miss a lot more things than these, the whole feeling of being here, but this was my list.
