Champagne sailing for the last 24 hours - sunny
day, starry night and flat seas with good speed.
We passed a sailing boat yesterday in the
gloom of the evening - a very rare occurence - and chatted to him on the
VHF. It turned out that he was French going from Martinique to the Azores and
then Britanny. He was very particular to distinguish his destination as Brittany
and not France. Typical Frog, he did not turn on his navigation lights when it
got dark!
