At about 10:30 this morning, we spotted the northern mountains of Lanzarote. We are now strolling down the west coast with a flying fish escort. Will update stats for the trip later but roughly it was 650nm in around 86 hours. We had an incredible first 36 hours - we are 90% sure that from around 3am Monday we achieved 200miles in 24 hours. There are a few repairs to do on sails and the rig - we have learnt a lot about how to and how not to sail downwind.
