Title: End of 4th day from Ponta Delgarda - 42.25N 13.40W

[<< Prev Post] | [Next Post >>]
[Back to Index/Map]

We continue sailing to La Coruna. The wind is favourable, and we are sailing goose-winged with the genoa poled out on the opposite side to the main. The seas have become quite large, but all going well. 589 miles travelled, 240 miles to go.
