At last a whole day of steady F5 easterly “trade winds”, these are the conditions that were forecast and that we should expect this time of year. Lovely sailing, no sail changes, moderate following sea and sunshine.

 

Lets hope they hold for the next few days. About 200 miles to go so thoughts turning towards making landfall now.

Sods law that after all this time we might reach Guadeloupe in the small hours, very little moon at the moment so we will have to monitor our progress and decide weather to approach in the dark or slow our approach so that we arrive in daylight.

Horrible decision to make because we both just want to get there now!
