Today, words of deckhand Nils:

Is it dream or reality ?

Standing on the deck and feeling this fresh cold breeze in the neck.

Being aware that there is only water for days and days.

The mighty ocean we sailed since miles and miles.

Looking up to the sky where the stars slightly spark.

Realizing how small and breakable everything is.

A quiet moment full of peace and joy.

Then Venus comes up, announce the break of day.

Soon the sun comes and sets the world in a golden shine.

The mighty ship races through all the waves. The sails filled with air.

The crew takes turns at the helm sailing straight towards the horizon and the islands beyond.

As the sun is high above the sky and shines warm into the faces. It`s time to change the watches.

Then the captain sets the clock one our ahead. How must it feel to have the power to change time?

A few dolphins pass by and say hello, before it`s time for a delicious diner with oven grilled potatoes.

The colorful sunset makes the day perfect. Now you can find the crew covered in warm cloth prepared for a chilly night watch light up by the full moon.

Sneaking into the bunk, I wonder if such a wonderful day can be reality or was it just a dream?
