Midnight we had made it as far as 17:23.00N 28:10.71W – 5th of December, 2008.

Engine Time – 0

We sailed into the night in company with our new friends – Dave and Emma onboard OLD BOB a gaff rigged ketch ‘Old style 2 masted thing for anyone who was wondering’ It was nice to sail out into the deep with another boat, we also were able to chat on the radio and check to sea who was catching fish.

Special comments by Fiona:  Enjoying the ride so far.  But with these light winds the thought of potentially 21 days, including Christmas Day, at sea I’m wondering how quickly the time will pass?
