It is great to be back out at sea again in such
great sailing conditions.......
We left the dock art 05.45 tihs morning on the
start of our passage to Antigua approx 2650nm. It has be a mixed day weather
wise, probably influenced by the Islands, but generally we have been sailing
downwind with a poed out genoa and main at good speeds in winds of around 22kts
from the NNE.The boat has behaved incredibly well in these conditions and we
have seen some high numbers on the speed dial! Today has been about settling
into the watch system and getting used to being out here again. We are leaving
the islands behind - Next stop Antiga!
