An absolutely glorious day with a stop to swim followed by a great sail before the wind died and we are now motoring into the night with 80 miles to go to Gib.
 
Very hot which meant that the bimini came into it's own for the first time. Even the dolphins seemed to tire easily and head off for a rest today.
 
We are sailing well North of the Med shipping lanes, especially after we saw 49 ships on our AIS screen (a transponder system thst transmits all of the ships details, almost to the point of the captains name!!) and hope the Lavante wind is not blowing in the Straits when we get near after dawn.
 
All well after a night out in Lagos - plagued by Brits!!
