Loads of wind……17 Nov

We have been steaming down the route to Lanzarote with 25 knots of wind steadily behind us, gusting up to 36 knots occasionally. Great sailing, no problems to report. We are busy with shipping again for the moment but easily on schedule to drop off Colin in Arrecife tomorrow morning. All the crew is more rested today and enjoying the sleigh ride.
