We've made good speeds during the last 24 hours covering over 150 miles. The boat is going quite fast and we are all enjoying the experience. The winds have moderated a little since the weekend and we are now enjoying 20-24 knots from the NE to E. The seas have moderated correspondingly so life on board is a little more comfortable. As far as marine life is concerned we've seen a couple more turtles, a few flying fish and the occasional solitary petrel skimming the wave crests. We are now not far from The Cabo Verde Islands and are starting to look forward to a short period ashore.
