Update von der 'BvB': The blue hole

Last night we were supposed to sail in winds around 10 kn. But our grip files had no clue about the terrible beauty of "blue holes". We ended up drifting around writing the symbol of infinity in the dark sea. The hole kept a firm grip on our „Bank von Bremen“. Only in the early hours of the morning a hero appeared: Niklas.
Niklas one of our calmest characters on board was our helmsman for these extreme light conditions guiding our boat out of the „blue hole“ our private no wind zone.

Now the gennaker is up again and we make progress in the right direction. Working on the routing to the Englisch Channel is like being in a traffic jam while staring at the display. Our ETA jumps from 3 and 8 hours.
