Great sailing last night and crew settling into a routine. Michael established as excellent breakfast cook, Jane the lunchtime chef and Sally the dish-up, prepared supper chef. David does the electronics etc and we have all cracked reefing and taking reefs out. Wind started to head us about 120nm from the Finisterre corner. Pretty unpleasant wind on the nose for about 4 hours, promised on the grid file, until16.15 when we had 180 shift. Now bowling along under grey skies and in big seas on our course, great!

Cottage pie for supper. Alcohol intake very minimal on the boat at the moment. Looking forward to ticking off the Bay and going South to Sao Vicenti.
