140 miles to go, wind has been playing all sorts of tricks but now seems to
have settled to a 15kt from behind so 7 knots should get us to La sPalmas
tomorrow p.m.. A day to do the laundry and put the boat to bed and flights
pemitting ,home Tuesday! Alan had a lucky escape yesterday, he tried to stop
himself falling into the cockpit during a rough spell and thought he had
broken a bone in his hand. It seems to be better today so maybe the damage
isnt so serious.
