noon to noon run: 141 miles
distance run from Gran Canaria: 780 miles
distance to Midelo now just 77 miles
 
The most glorious 24 hours sailing bowling along at 6 knots, flying fish on the deck, the tropical sun beating down vertically on my beautiful solar panels and the bimini.  Bert the Hydrovane has steered us for over 24 hours without complaint or human intervention
 
Highlights were dinner which was the second half of Chris' wonderful dorado and a light breakfast of toast, sausages, bacon and  fried tomatoes!
 
Our ETA at Mindelo is now 1 am tomorrow (Thursday) morning UK time.  We will put our clocks forward one hour tonight as we head ever more westward
 
Everybody in roaring good spirits!
