After 4 nights at sea, we've made a massive total of 180nm south ....Having spent 30+ hours hove to in fairly strong winds... It was either that, or sail towards Africa, or back to Salvador!

Now anchored in a river not unlike the Tamar but it does have mangroves, palm trees, lots of small fishing boats.

We'll now be waiting for weather to continue
