Yesterday the Ocean treated me with good weather. \u00a0The words \u201cgood weather\u201d are not applicable, really, to these high latitudes, but the wind dropped to 10 knots, the wave height was about 3 meters, the sun peeped through the clouds and I was finally able to put the boat in order. \u00a0Calibrated the new wind indicator. \u00a0The last time I installed it, it showed incorrect values, gave an error in the direction of the wind.<\/p>\n

I also conducted an audit of food and gas cylinders. \u00a0I still have food for about 50 days and gas for than 80 days! \u00a0Yes, I used up very little gas, because instead of using one cylinder a week, I had periods when I did not change gas cylinder for a fortnight. \u00a0Stormy weather does not allow frequent use of the stove, sometimes I did not prepare hot food for 3-4 days in a row, hence all these savings were due to stormy weather. \u00a0Yesterday, however, I indulged myself. \u00a0At night, the Ocean calmed down, the sky cleared, the Milky Way was visible from horizon to horizon. \u00a0The air was clean, crispy. \u00a0I threw a phosphorescent lure to attract a squid and caught one. \u00a0Cooked it at dawn. \u00a0This was my first squid caught in March.<\/p>\n

Through the satellite communication system Bysky, I received 1,240 messages in the last few days. \u00a0Only now I was able to read them. \u00a0Thank you very much for your kind words and your prayers.<\/p>\n

There were messages with questions, why am I doing this and what do I want to prove? \u00a0What I want to prove, I will tell you, when with God’s help I complete this voyage.<\/p>\n

Why am I doing this? \u00a0I’ll ask you a question. \u00a0I do not understand – how you can be indifferent to what is happening in the world!?<\/p>\n

James Cameron, an American, in 2012 descended into the Mariana Trench. \u00a0I have a question – why not a Russian researcher? \u00a0Moreover, it was the Soviet research vessel \u201cVityaz\u201d in 1957 that for the first time measured the depth of the Mariana Trench and recorded a depth of 11,022 meters.<\/p>\n

In 2005, a pilot from India, Vijaypat Singhania, ascended to the height of 21-kilometer in a hot-air balloon. \u00a0I have a question – why do not we set ourselves such a task? \u00a0Why is it important for India, but not for Russia?<\/p>\n

An Englishman, Olly Hicks<\/a>, has been trying to go around the world via the Cape Horn in a rowboat for several years, he failed with the first attempt and is preparing for his second try.<\/p>\n

Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, both from Switzerland, built the Solar Impulse 2 aircraft and flew around the world on the energy of the sun, making 17 stops. \u00a0Now the task is to fly around the world in a non-stop mode, and we have been working on this task for several years in the framework of the \u201cAlbatross\u201d project<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I never ask this question \u2013 \u201cwhat for\u201d? \u00a0I always ask another question – why do we stand aside, and why do we think that such projects are not important? \u00a0They tell me: times are tough now. \u00a0My dears, the times will always be difficult, but we live here and now. \u00a0Yuri Gagarin made his space flight just 16 years after the end of World War II. \u00a0Were they easy times then? \u00a0Soviet pilots made a nonstop flight across the North Pole to Canada in 1937 – times were very tough then. \u00a0The times are wonderful now, there are all possibilities for the realization of any ideas in art, travel, scientific discoveries. \u00a0Who restricts or forbids us from realising our full potentials?<\/p>\n

In Russia, there is still no mountaineer who has completed the program of climbing all 14 eight thousand metre mountain peaks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first person to set foot on top of each of the 14 eight thousand metre mountain peaks was an Italian called Reinhold Messner, who achieved it back in the eighties.<\/p>\n

Until now, not a single Russian yachtsman has completed the entire route of the single-handed (solo) non-stop yacht race around the world without assistance \u201cVendee Globe\u201d, I don\u2019t even say to win it, just to last the entire distance. \u00a0I tried it in the year 2000 but had to abandon the race off the coast of Australia when I was forced to make a call to Sydney due to technical issues on board. \u00a0Since then, Russia has not even applied for participation. \u00a0Why is that? \u00a0The race takes place every four years.<\/p>\n

It is a pity that modern humans live for 70 years, under the best of circumstances for 80 years, and not as the Old Testament people for 800-900 years. \u00a0If only we had lived for 900 years, how much could have been achieved!<\/p>\n

I like it when I receive letters from schoolchildren in which they write that they are dreaming of becoming researchers or designers of spacecraft, submarines, and airoplanes. \u00a0I feel that a generation is growing up that does not ask the question \u201cwhat for?\u201d, but already at an early age, they are concerned about other questions, such as – what will I be in this life, what will I achieve, what mark will I leave? \u00a0A new generation will soon replace the generation of hesitant and indecisive.<\/p>\n

The wind turned to a headwind, which always happens after good weather. \u00a0For about 10 hours it will push the boat to the south-west and then it should turn back to a tailwind. \u00a0We must endure. \u00a0Some good news: a lot of round numbers: I have crossed 100 degrees west longitude; covered the distance of 9,000 kilometres from New Zealand (exactly 5,000 nautical miles); it is 2,000 kilometres (1,111 nautical miles) to Cape Horn. \u00a0Soon, it will be a thousand miles to Cape Horn. \u00a0My dream is to step on a firm land on the eve of the Holy Easter Holiday.<\/p>\n

Regards to all.<\/p>\n
