Niord's Big Adventure

Tony Gratton

Tue 5 Dec 2023 18:22

Wed 22 - Thu 23/11/2023 Atlantic Day 4 (Days run from 1200 to 1200 UTC)

Distance run in 24h 127.7 nm. Atlantic distance 553.3 nm. Total distance to date 2483.3 nm.

We are off the coast of Mauritania, and our previous day's course change has us headed in the general direction of the Cape Verde islands. Here we are goosewinging under the moon. The Yankee is now poled out to starboard. We pass another boat "Magic Pelagic" to our starboard.

Sunrise on our way to the Verdes!
