As we pasted the same latitude as the most southern
point on mainland Europe we noticed a distinct drop in the amount of traffic
sighted. Not only has the traffic dropped, but also the amount of wildlife.
I don't think we saw a single dolphin yesterday. Last night we saw our
first bit of rain since crossing the channel to Roscoff and the clouds this
morning showed signs of fronts passing behind us which is feeding us a constant
breeze. As we cross the Siene Abyssal Plain, we hope to pick up the southerly
flowing "Canary Current" which will propel us down towards Lanzarote for some
well deserved Tapas and Tropical Beer. The north tip of the island is
only 310nm away so we hope to be in Rubicon Marina (down the southern end) late
on the 28th July.
