Left Porto Santo at 1040 local (same as UK). Wind NNE F3-4, then becoming F4. Progress a bit slow, but a pleasant day with slight swell, occassionally a little confused (like me?). Full main & gennaker, between 4.5 & 6 kts over the ground, 232 nm to Graciosa, provisionally late afternoon on Friday 12th. Moonshiner about 5nm ahead, but then they motored for a bit.
A bit sad to leave Porto Santo, I wonder if it will be another 13 years before I return? Oh well, supper....cold lamb & ratatouille.
