Only 225 miles to go. It is 7pm Sat eve and we expect to arrive early morning Monday at Mindelo on Sao Vicente. This will probably be our last blog message until we arrive. Winds NE still quite calm with sunny warm days sea temp gone up to 25C. Saw fishing boat last night which followed us for ages - possible pirates - so we switched of all lights and lost them in the dark! Got surrounded by 30 dolphins which played in the bow this morning. Tried the solar shower on the bathing platform today for the first time. All aboard looking forward to a long shower and large drinkwhen we arrive! Lots of love Kit and Vanessa. E-mails to brainofpooh {CHANGE TO AT} hotmail {DOT} co {DOT} uk for us to reply at Mindelo
 
Hi Alison here hello to family and friends.  Its getting a lot warmer now - Vanessa and I were sunbathing in ouur bikinis on the foredeck today, and I have moved to another pair of shorts having recognised that I now have a tide/tanmark from wearing the same ones.  The dolphins were lovely, playing around the bow.  I'm lookiing forward to being in a new place the Cape Verde Islands.  We all want to do different things when we get there amd these include the bar, shower block,launderette, internet, and a walk!  Please send me messages on facebook or emails to deeside email address.  I'll post photos on facebook as soon as I can from land if there is a facility to do this.  xx
