We finally made it! After a long
night rolling away in a following sea with gusts of up to 38 knots we
finally rounded Cape St Vincent at around 11am local time this
morning.
As soon as the corner was
made and as if by magic the winds began to die, the sea state slackened and
the temperature soared starting an 'epic' sunbathing session for the final few
hours into Lagos. On final approach to Lagos the sails were dropped early
and, having decided it was finally warm enough, we took
the long awaited dive from the side of
the boat into over 150 mtrs of water. (This was followed by the
fastest lap of the boat I have seen in a long time and a swift exit
after we realised that the atlantic ocean isn't QUITE as warm as
expected!)
We are due to go out and explore Lagos tonight and
will no doubt return with plenty of stories for tomorrows entry.
Attached is a photo of our dive and one of our new
favourite passage games....!
