Title: Heading to Africa

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

Position: 36:25.81N 004:15.79W - Heading towards Algeria

Log: 18.4 nM

At the moment we're pointing straight at Algeria but it's the best we can do with the current and forecast wind direction. Calm sea, light winds - a bit too light - but better too little than too much. We're not in a hurry. Chris has got 4.5 knots out of the boat in 6 knots of wind, what a star. The journey is 330nM, but we'll do many more due to the prevailing Easterlies.

We plan to hire a car on each of the Balearic Islands so if anyone knows of any must-see places kindly drop us an email, the address is on our web-site.

To see photos of our journey make friends with Deca Dance on Facebook
