Position "23:21.20N  25:25.56W"
750 miles logged. 
 
Big change from yesterday day time, wind kicked to 20kts which was fine, boat went like a train making up the lost ground of from the low/ no wind afternoon.
 
Unfortunately we had a big squall in night which forced us to drop the kite, bad news as the sheet tripped by itself quickly followed by the guy so it flew like a flag; really not good at 30kts. Next port for the Jennaker  in North Sails repair loft!
 
This morning  we have cloud skies , rain and squall after squall. The outlook is the same for tomorrow,
 
Overall position has slipped to 9th.
 
Last few moments before Jen is confined to Locker
 
 
Still no fish....
