Meeting with an UFO

Sunday, May 23rd
After these last days of almost complete peace, Findomestic Banca and her skipper were navigating quietly in the Trade Winds finally found again.
But this night: "Collision with a UFO .Probably a tree trunk. I heard  a big "bang" on the port beam but no "crack".
Fortunately  the hull had been strengthened, it avoided the damage.
Everything is well on board. Light wind of the North / North East 10/13 kts which enables Alessandro to make quite a comfortable  average  speed of 4,2 knots for these last 24 hours. If he maintains this average he should reach Equator by the end of the month.
