Well Sunday evening and we have some good wind at 10 knots from the NW. Sailing on toward Lanzarote at 6.5 knots.
 
A day that started with the engine powering us and little or no wind gave the opprtunity to stop for a swim at sea. With the atlantic at around 18 degrees C an opprtunity  to get have a salt water clean up.
 
The sea was lovely and warm and it felt good to wash away two days of sweat and grime. We are all now smelling lovely espeially Mike who has put his special sandlewood deodorant on for the occassion.We have just had Tuna Pasta and my first attempt at bread rolls in the galley oven. They turned out ok , not very crispy but coked all the way through . We are now on the cofee and chocolate and waiting for the sun to go down. The engine has been off now for 5 hoursand its great to hear the wind in the sails. We are expecting the wind to pick up as we aproach the Canaries so should be in Ls Palmas  by tuesday night or weds early morning . Mikes underpants are drying well on the rail ( thats his contribution to the log he does like doing his laundry ). Off to watch sunset now .
