Having stayed way too late in the ‘South Bar’  in Lagos marina saying our goodbyes to the other folk and also making good use of the free wireless network we finally managed to depart from Lagos Marina at around 13:30.  One of the other rally boats left at the same time and there are still a few left.

 

Goodbye Lagos:

We had a great sail of approx. 40 miles with the wind behind us, we started off with the cruising chute and then went back to the genoa when the wind reached 24 knots.  We arrived at a place called Faro at approx. 20:30 where we dropped the anchor.  It was dark by the time we had anchored so pictures will follow:
