Not far from Gran Canaria!
10:20
 
So we woke up this morning to a bit of cloud and a light breeze. With the options for getting to las palmas decreasing, we decided to go down the middle and gybe at around 07:30. With this we also shook a reef out, so we are now down to one reef, and also popped the cruising chute up normally. In the NE 15-20 knots that we have, we are being rewarded with a boatspeed of 7-8 knots average and a top speed so far of 10.1 knots. We have 70 miles to go, so hopefully will be going in in daylight around 20:00, if not a little before then. Looking forward to tying up and having a drink and some decent food. Will give a final update when we arrive, but for now going to get on deck and enjoy the power sailing.
