Hello Happy Monday

Having passed France, Spain and Portugal I’m now making a dash across the Iberian basin direct to the Island of La Palma. The sea here has a more friendly feel to it and having looked at the forecast for the next few days I expect some moderate breezes and warm air, the temperature today was 25 C. I also expect much less shipping than I have seen to date.

The nearest continent to my east will be Africa in a couple of days. It was beautiful sailing today and its just amazing how this little boat of mine so nicely balanced with the sails up and the wind vane steering, simply keeps heading in the direction I set throughout the night and day whatever the conditions, using only the wind and sea around her.
