A conversation with Fedor Konyukhov using the satellite telephone system Iridium.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is well with me, there have been no extraordinary incidents, thank God. Today is Groundhog Day. \u00a0It has been a week of grey sky and sea, with the rain, wind and waves. \u00a0Nothing changes besides the time and calendar date. \u00a0I know that a moon was born, but the whole sky is covered by clouds so I cannot see it. \u00a0There is little sunlight, but the solar batteries are charging well. \u00a0They are getting enough diffused light.<\/span><\/p>\n

I am bringing myself and the boat to order after the stormy weather which kept the boat and I under such pressure in the last few days. \u00a0The wind has raised huge waves, which have been coming up against the boat quite severely, coming close to capsizing it. \u00a0The crests of the waves were breaking thunderously on the cockpit and I was concerned that the navigational antenna would be torn from the bridge. \u00a0I haven\u2019t turned on the gas stove for two days, and haven\u2019t eaten hot food for nearly 50 hours. \u00a0I\u2019m scared that I may scald myself with boiling water if a strong wave hits. \u00a0There have been many such accidents in the ocean. \u00a0At least I have saved on gas. \u00a0I have accounted for one gas canister per week, as everything is limited by weight and storage restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today I launched the desalination unit and boiled some fresh water to make chicken broth with croutons, which my family dried for me in New Zealand. \u00a0Yes \u2013 I do possess good expedition provisions from Radix Nutrition, but sometimes I just want broth and croutons. <\/span><\/p>\n

Last night the boat bumped into something. \u00a0At one point, for a few seconds, the waves stopped slamming into the hull, at which point came a sharp thump. \u00a0It was as though the boat came down from a wave and landed onto a sleeping whale or large log. \u00a0As soon as the rain dies down I will try to inspect the hull for scratches or chipped paint. \u00a0Meanwhile, it is dry inside the cabin.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are many Portuguese man-o-war (bluebottle) jellyfish about. \u00a0Whole fields of them, in the ocean. \u00a0They are poisonous and can burn your hands. \u00a0When I take the boat through these fields, I withdraw the oars and wait until I have passed through. \u00a0I have never seen such a concentration of jellyfish. \u00a0I believe it is either because the ocean has become severely polluted, or, now that I am sitting some 20cm from the ocean rather than high up in a yacht, I am paying more attention to everything that appears on the surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

I have made good progress so far, in 2019. \u00a0I worry only that it has been difficult to move South. \u00a0Since the beginning of the year, it has been impossible to cross 48 degrees latitude. \u00a0As soon as I come close, Southerly winds blow the boat North, and I have to steer the boat South again. \u00a0Over the whole voyage, I have only been able to make 48\u201915 degrees latitude. \u00a0In order to traverse Cape Horn, I must get to 57 degrees latitude, despite the wind preventing me from even approaching 50 degrees in a whole month. \u00a0The situation isn\u2019t critical, however, as there is still time and distance, but I am already thinking about it. \u00a0The forecast predicts South-Westerly winds for the next few days. \u00a0This means that I will lose latitude again, as I will have to go North with the wind.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this is all in the job description. \u00a0The main thing is that I am alive and well. \u00a0Thank God for everything.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regards to all,<\/span><\/p>\n
