Éowyn is underway from Recife Brazil to Grenada in position 04:52.039S 035:04.585W
 
We started at 0900 yesterday and the first 24 hours was a beat to windward. we are expecting that we will take about 16 days for the 2,100 mile passage.
 
We were pleased to get away from Brasil - maybe the stopover was a few days too long!
 
A last minute crisis involved Thor VI as Rui's crew had to leave with a hip problem. we thought we might have to lend him Mike but at the last minute, Luca, a personable Italian became available and they are sailing together
