No cloud at all today and hot sunshine. Steady F6 breeze and we are pacing ourselves with just a reefed mainsail to time our rival in Dakar to the morning on Tuesday.

Lots of flying fish today. They fly for several hundred yards, even landing and taking off again. Must be something chasing them but haven’t seen anything as yet. Annie is keen to use our new fishing rod but goodness knows what we might catch and will have to deal with!
