On watch at 0300hrs.
The half moon has just risen over low clouds astern and just after 0200hrs the plume of Ponta do Arnel lighthouse appeared on the bow - just where it should be after 1130 miles at sea! We are 39 miles off the coast of Sao Miguel - sailing along in 20knots of wind from the NW with the bright stars and Milky Way as a backcloth above the bobbing masthead light. Magic moments?
