Had a couple of days of variable weather ranging from flat calm to force 5/6 with some big waves. Blue Jade is sailing well in all conditions. We have decided to head directly for Martinique rather than stop at the Cape Verde Islands. No more fish yet but dolphins have visited every morning and given us a great show.

Everyone is well. Rigged the cruising chute to allow us to take maximum benefit of light winds.

Keeping blogs short as Iridium communications is expensive.
