We now have two weeks at sea to suriname.
We've been at sea for six days.
It's very hot in here.
But eline and I aren't nauseous.
We're having a good time here.
We've got the spinnaker on now, that's a big blue sail.
We can just nintendo and book and read here
and we can sleep peacefully.
We're now working on the last week of school for the Christmas holidays.
Today I'm going to work a lot.
Yesterday I did 5 courses.
And it's going very well here.
We also have a little Christmas tree here.
And we've already rigged it up.
Mommy bakes fresh brown bread here every day.
That's very good.
We catch a lot of fish.
And they're very tasty, too.
We caught a gold mackerel yesterday.
It was 60 cm long.
We're doing some kind of contest here, too.
Then every day we have to guess how many boats we are going to see, how many fish we are going to catch and how many miles we are going to sail.
We sail next to the Barbarossa and sometimes when they catch a fish we go right after each other and then we do
We put something in a bag and we do it via a rope to the other boat.
The Barbarossa also once caught a fish that was 85 cm.
We could have half that we got the same way I explained.
That fish was very tasty too, but Giel thought it tasted like detergent.
Giel is a boy of the Barbarossa and he is 14 years old.
Eline and I watch a movie every day.
Sometimes Daddy watches.
Well, this is today's story.

Hi, Eline,
Congratulations on your birthday!!!!!
Did you get any nice presents today? And maybe a cake with your dad, mom, Marinthe and the other crews.
It's a very special birthday, so far away from home and so warm.
Have fun and see you soon via webcam!
