16. The Azores are coming soon!

What adventures in this trip, and it's not over!

Tuesday :

So many surprises: deep circle batteries do not recharge. Louis thinks it may be due to the initial connection. He will watch the next day when there is less wind.

Louis: There is water everywhere. It came in so many places, I don't know where to start. In any case, there is wind, a lot. I haven't seen blue skies since I left. Did you know that where I am, there's 10,000 feet of water below me.

Yesterday:

Louis: The sun is trying to make an appearance. Wind 10 knots. The water color is metallic. 13,000 feet of water below me.

He finally replaced the alternator which no longer works. The smoke is still part of the game. He managed to make a call to correct the situation and asked me to bring another alternator in my suitcase. Me who wanted to take a carry-on on the plane... no go.

He spent the rest of the day listening to music and contemplating. Same tack for 36 hours.

Received other messages more personal ;)
