The wind has finally backed to just west of north, so we're hooning downwind once again. Gradually eating up the miles between us and Malta, 266 miles ahead of us.
We passed south of Sardinia in the night (where Sardines come from, according to Paul).
As the sun rose this morning we could make out the mountains on the north coast of Tunisia (where Tuna comes from, according to Paul). We're starting to see a lot more shipping as we converge with the routes to and from the Suez Canal.
