Escapade of Rame

Richard & Julie Farrington

Mon 13 Nov 2017 18:49

23:46N 019:45W

After light winds overnight the breeze filled in this morning and we enjoyed a good spinnaker reach throughout daylight hours. As dusk fell, so did the wind, but a couple of off-course migrating birds came for a brief visit.

Now settled down under white sails at around 5 knots in roughly the right direction.

500 miles to run!
