A beautiful sunrise after a challenging night of light airs where we often had to hand steer to make the most of the very light shifting breeze and keep the boat moving. Our collision alarm went off several times as we had a close match race with another boat called Home of Jazz. A  tanker who just happened by kindly changed course to pass a few hundred meters behind us. 
 
The breeze has now started to veer round to the east and as we follow it around we will make a more direct course towards Falmouth.
 
Happy with progress so far....
