Day 8- Why does everything comes down to food?

Do you often run out of topics for discussion? If yes, perhaps somewhere in your mind you're sailing too. Like today, the only topic of discussion amongst us was 'Hey what is going to be there in today's blog. How about writing about the crazy things we used to eat as a child'..:D..
Before I get to the sailing happenings of the day, lemme do some justice to the only topic that was discussed today.

Says Jammy- " Gems was my fav filler between the meals"
Says Aish- " Pop pop Poppins!"
Says Swatcat- " At one time I started having a lot of sugarcane"
Says Shou- " I started having Paan at a very early age in my life:D"
Says Puko- " I used to have orange candies after every class during school days"
Says VJ-   " Chalks, Guru chela, Phantom "

Genie the genneker

Right! So enough of food talks. The day surprised us with a pleasant breeze and we wasted no time in setting our
sails right and making some long yearned headway. Flew our genie the Genneker which did help us quite a bit this time.
For those who may not know what m referring to, have a look at the image. Its a sail that helps us sail downwind.
And it is a genie! Last evening a squall greeted us with 30 knots of breeze that gave us a quick fresh water shower.Thats a benefit of a squall, for those who like surprises. It showers upon you when you may not expect it:D On a serious note, if you do not take it seriously, you will also remember it for lifetime.

Tangerine-that's what u call it!

This afternoon people onboard got back to their all time fav hobbies. Shou was quite involved in knitting a bag out of wool. India's definitely got talent!
She has already gifted one to Puko coz may be she ran out of space for keeping things. Jammy painted her nails orange. Ah she says " Not orange. Its called
Tangerine".. I see!:D.. Swatcat made a dream chaser and its hanging nicely from our roof right now. Aish has gotten into a philosophical mode today after she
started reading "The Alexander's Secret' on her kindle:D Puko was busy with something on her laptop we havent figured out yet. VJ was feeding water to the last crane standing on the boat. Rest of the bird sanctuary have flown back except this one. Surprisingly it doesnt cease to drink water. I wonder if its that thirsty.

Hide and seek

Pouring heavily right now! The moon showed up for a bit and then got blanketed by a thick layer of clouds. Looks like we are in for some action tonight! Shall sign off now and leave you with a glimpse of Day 8.
