Sea gods smiling. Creaming into Ponta Delgada at 8.5 knots everyone pinned like flies to the wall as we are pulling heavy g force. dolphins everywhere jumping to have a look at us and promises from the firemen that the island has a Chinese. So much so that Crocodile Dundee has been let off cooking pasta this evening in anticipation of something truly great in 3 hours from now. 36 hours to eat drink load more dogs and beer on board before we set off for Europe.
