Voilá! Here are some sketches of a
"Cantare" t-shirt for the crew.
What do you think? Any ideas of a nice motive instead of the little logo?

What are we going to do while crossing the Atlantic? 3 weeks without land in sight. Maybe we will see another boat once in a while. We will have to turn the tomatoes and eggs once a day, we will have to sunbath a few hours and we will have to read a bit. But what else is there to do?

I have solved the problem, today I bought a new game, it's called Battleship. The idea is really simple, you have to destroy the other person's ships before yours are destroyed. Maybe we will name the ships after our worst competitors in ARC2009.

Lee cloths for the bunks in the saloon. They will, hopefully, keep us in our beds no matter how much the yacht rolls. I have made them out of spray hood fabric. To fasten them to the bunks I have used spray hood pipe tracks and sewed a rope into a canal at the fabrics bottom. At the top they are held by aluminium tubes attached in the ends by custom-made mountings.

They have arrived! Finally, the things I ordered from the U.S. are here. But to get them I had to pay an additional fee of about 1900 Sek, sales tax, I didn't have a clue about that. Anoying, now we only saved about 800 Sek. But alright, I was happy until I checked out the handheld VHF. It wasn't the one I ordered. This one was a newer model with less battery life and it didn't have an extra alkaline battery case included, which was the whole point of buying a handheld VHF. We are going to have it in the grab bag for emergency use in the liferaft, where it isn't possible to charge it by 12 V. I have sent an email to the American company asking them to solve this problem, let's see what they answer. / Captain Ingerup
