We are in the middle of the Atlantic and my idea was to conduct an interview with some people about their feelings. I was thinking about some good questions and after some time, someone asked me how far I am, and I answered: “So far so good.” In this moment, the final idea came to my mind. This idea was that everybody needs to answer with “So far so good, but…”

How are you feeling with this enormous amount of water around you?

„So far so good, but lookout is getting boring.“ (Klara)
„So far so good, but I always think there is land around me.“ (Emma)
„So far so good, but we get sunburned so fast.“ (Sophie)
„So far so good, but it makes me feel very small.“ (Karo)
„So far so good, but the feeling of time and space is gone.“ (Charlotte)

How are you feeling ..

..when you hear the “all hands on deck” announcement?..

„So far so good, but I want to eat my instant noodles aldente instead of doing sail handling.“ (Teresa)
„So far so good, but I want to sleep.“ (Erik)
„So far so good, but the Medic told me that I‘m not allowed to touch any ropes ;)“ (Lenka)
„So far so good, but let’s do some sail handling, Yeah!!! 🙄(Leah)“
„So far so good, but I think it‘s fine because often something funny happens.“ (Lena)

…when you see the full garbage area?

„I’m afraid we’re gonna have another day compacting the trash.“ (Philipp)
„So far so good, but if you compact the trash, then it should be okay.“ (Karo)
„So far so good, but I had somethings in the lost and found box, so I need to fix it.“ (Erik)
„So far so good, but I‘m starting to feel very sick like when I cleaned the cock fridge.“ (Anna B.)
„So far so good, but I think it’s a lot of garbage, but we are 47 people so it‘s ok.“ (Tobi)

… with the cockroach on board?

„So far so good, but they are in my room and I’m crying about it.“ (Lena)
„So far so good, but my cabin is directly on the opposite side of the cabin with the cockroach.“ (Greta)
„So far so good, but all in one I don’t care because they are not in my cabin.“ (Ole)
„So far so good, but I wonder why they are in cabin 10 and not in cabin 7.“ (Karo)
„So far so good, but I feel sorry for Eva because she is very afraid.“ (Sophie)

…when you look back at the day?

„So far so good, but I didn’t catch enough sleep.“ (Falk)
„So far so good, but I think the staysail is broken.“ (Marie)
„So far so good, but I want a brownie like yesterday.“ (Paulina)
„So far so good, but I did nothing except lying on the deck with Lena.“ (Karo)
„So far so good, but I wanted to write my diary today because I didn’t write it since two weeks.“ (Lena)
„So far so good, but we haven’t caught any fish yet.“ (Noé)
„So far so good, but I haven’t had enough coffee.“ (Tamsin)

Fun fact: We have a bestie, and we named her Sara (actual name: SY Saharet of Tyre). She is a sailing vessel, and we saw her the first time in Tenerife. Sara also made a stop in Kap Verde. Now, Sara is still with us!

The Haircut-Reveal!

The next person that is going to be revealed is … Falk! He got a buzzcut. And now a small interview with Falk:

Why did you decide to get this haircut? Just for fun and to get rid of the tan line.
Do you like it? Could be worse and could be better.
What do you want to tell the people at home? I miss you all.

Grüße
