Well, 220 miles behind the leaders to 120 miles in 2 days isn’t bad work!! I suspect we are going to lose miles again though as we are off to the African shore line, the wind bends there and additonal promised stength make it too tempting, watch out for Groupe Partouche, they are over there and going well. It looks good for next few days and we should be there by tonight. We had very good transition through Canaries, just west of Fuerte Ventura. Wind going light and now we are sailing in 9 knots of wind and our course is 160 degrees, not ideal but we don’t want to gybe off to the west. Deckman (our routing softward) agrees with our route, which was done separately.
Last night was ace, massive surfing and warm water perfect. It is now HOT, today in boxer shorts only, glad we have some sun cream. Going through our rations later to evaluate just how hungry we are going to be! Water and fuel levels OK at the moment….
