At 14.45 UTC was our position given above. We are now sailing on port beam reach more easterly winds than we expected. Yesterday evening we just had enough time to change the sails before the sun was setting.
The sky is overcast with bright blue showing through broken clouds and warm sun, when not covered. So no sunbathing weather for us but good wind to keep us moving. The hydrovane is doing a brilliant job for the last three days, which keeps our power consumption very low. Today we had the generator and water maker working which topped up our water tanks and batteries.
Thanks Steve and Carol for the net frequency. We tried this morning but definitely have a problem with the setting on the Furuno SSB, which we hope to resolve in the Cape Verdes.
398 NM to go!
