All good still. Unbelievably nice sailing. Spinny up, Av
5 kts. 148M to go. Doubtless our final approaches to Mindelo at Sao Vincente
harbour will be in the dark, no matter how hard our efforts to the
contrary. To shut up my complaints about barren ocean, yesterday we saw a shark
fin about 20 ft away, not for long. Then the most wonderful (as always) dolphin
display mid afternoon for about half an hour. they appear from nowhere, about 30
strong and play happily zigzagging in front of the boat, inches away. They ride
between the hulls at the front just under the water and surface to breathe so
close that you could touch them. King saw first signs of human today.. a
floating plastic bottle, so we must be getting closer!
Love to all,
xx
