Distance Run since start 840 nm nm

Distance to go NIL nm

Sailed very slowly over last day and hung around about 6 miles off Sao Vicente island waiting for the sun to rise at around 0800. Then sailed slowly in as light improved and reached the bay at Mindelo by 0900. Anchored by 0930 and now going to have showers, breakfast and bed for a few hours. The lack of movement is strange but welcome!

Will try to clear customs later today or tomorrow.

Must go. Bacon and eggs on the go!!
