28:27.94N 016:14.5W  (Marina Santa Cruz, Tenerife) 2628nm to go 1300 GMT

So it's a damp grey day in Santa Cruz.  Departure was delayed yesterday as we had to go and pick up our sails rather than them being delivered.  That together with some confusion about the new mainsail meant that frustratingly we couldn't get going last night.   The main will end up following us by plane....  We had a great meal out last night - best in Santa Cruz so far. 

However, we are almost on our way. We've settled up in the marina, Tony is just checking us out of Spain and the plan is to get going in the next hour.  If the weather holds as forecast we expect to head down towards Cape Verde (probably a bit East of the direct route to pick up wind) and then see how soon we can turn towards St Lucia. 

Fingers crossed!
