Comments from the Logbook
Quentin is visible on the horizon to the west, some boats south. Zero wind.
Around 7am: Radek is having keel trouble and will go diving, asks for someone to make sure he arrives back on deck after a while. 20 Minutes later he is back on deck.
09:25: a little bit of wind is there, pulls us very far NW, tacking (others remain on course).
10:30: switching to Code5 to try and make more west
11:43: took the Code 5 down

Comments from the Logbook:
Around 11pm: very (very very very very very) close encounter with MS Emden. While I was avoiding one Cargo using the AIS I did not realize there was another one. AIS also did not show it since I was in “collision mode” with the other ship. At 1nm from the cargo, our passing distance is still 0.015sm, luckily we both manage to alter course sufficiently so we pass each other at .3nm.
Florian 2nm ahead of me, Andy temporarily on the AIS.
