Skyscrapers now visible on the horizon as we approach - asymptotically as far as I can tell as the wind and thereby our speed keeps falling so we are always 5 hours to go even when the distance has halved. 22 miles to the light house and then another 3 or 4 miles. It will be about 9pm local time by then and dark but the moon should have come out so it's probably do-able. Hope so anyway!
The courtesy flag has been hoisted and the FM radio is playing Brazilian pop. Tomorrow another continent if all goes as planned.
