Wed 14th Jan. Left Mindelo at 13.30 and said
goodbye to some great local people and a string of yotties all bound across the
atlantic.
The good news is that we have done 36 miles.The bad
news is that we have 1981 miles to go! Forecast for the next 7 days is for light
winds and we are trying to get a bit further South with the hope of
picking up a bit mre wind before steering W to Barbados.
Team all well aboard. We are fully stocked with 90
oranges 120 bananas 40 tomatoes and more!
We met a nice Doctor and Wife who are following us
over and who have, like us, a satellite phone. We can keep in touch
daily which is rather reassuring knowing someone else is probably within 100
miles of us.
Sun just gone down and we have just lost sight of
land for two weeks. Sky ablaze with stars - what a wonderful world!
Love to all K & V
