Exciting start to the ARC as we crossed the line 2 minutes after the gun, close to the shore. Weather had been good all morning, but we soon got hit by the predicted showers and variable wind. First few nights have been a tough induction into Atlantic sailing - with limited sleep and wind keeping up. We've covered over 300 miles so far, and tracking well on our heading towards Cape Verde. 

You can follow our progress on the World Cruising website: http://www.worldcruising.com and look for the yellowbrick fleet viewer.

Cheers,

Team Hecuba
