Well this is counted as day 2 coz we started yesterday
afternoon. Mindelo had provisioned us with gas, water and bread rolls for King
(a breakfast 'must have'). Tim shopped til he dropped for tasty meals afloat. I
hope this intensive domestic activity will not have any long term phsychological
effect. I went up the mast to redo a spinnaker shackle, then down to the bilges
to fix the re-leaking water tank. It was fixed by emptying it, folding it up and
buying lots of bottles of water instead. Tiger selected his next 5 books to
read, our passports and ships papers were duly stamped, and then there was
simply nothing else to do but GO. It was a horrible lumpy day/night with a cross
swell and too much wind, but now we are well out to sea it has all calmed down a
bit. Still heading SW to connect with the trade winds, hopefully tomorrow.
2204 Miles to go.
