Midnight we had made it as far as 25:47.48N 18:45.40W – 22nd of November

 

 

Special comments by Fiona: Another beautiful day and superb conditions, but again lack of wind.  It’s now becoming annoying as it means landfall is just that big longer away.  I realize the importance of stronger winds and I’m finding myself re-jigging the sails when I’m on watch to get us much speed as possible.

Our day is spent reading, general day to day “house-work”, fishing (or trying too) eating and more eating. 

 

Having a great time and I’d never thought I’d enjoy it this much.  Hopefully I’m saying that a week or two in!
