Yes it’s 82nm to go and that first beer isn't going to touch the sides. Yesterday we managed to catch a fish, it was a huge Dorado (all of 12”), enough for one person so we had to let it go. it was a beautiful golden-yellow colour.  So far we have had more luck catching flying fish on Sonsy’s deck, with 1 landing in the cockpit in the wee small hours. Currently sailing in light winds with our cruising chute up making 6.5 to 7kt. It looks as if we are going arrive at Mindelo  23.00 to 00.00.
