Today I woke up at 6 in the morning. A good wind was blowing outside, so we made haste and departed around 7:40. At first I used an 11-square-meter sail, but then the wind got stronger and I was pushed with the speed of above 40km/h, so I switched to a 4-square-meter one. After that when the wind weakened, I changed to an 8-square-sail and kept going at an reasonable pace (around 20km/h).

Today everything went smoothly and we made steady progress. After all, we covered 104 kilometers, which is the longest distance so far we have traveled for one day. To tell you the truth, at the start of the day I said to myself "I'm going to cover 100 kilometers today!" but along the way I lost the determination and didn't really believe that was possible anymore. I'm just so glad I made it anyway, the tiredness didn't bother me at all.
