SHARKS !!!!

Great start today, we left Lagos at 0800 and just cleared the shipping lanes off Sao Vincente about an hour ago, wind is great and waves are biggish but no problem. We are making a good speed of 6 knots for a lot of the time. at this rate we should make funchal by saturday night.

Max saw his first ocean dolphins before but the didnt come to close, however later Max spotted a Dorsil fin about 25mtrs behind us, he followed us for a bit then left, I think it was my scouse accent that put him off.

MNore from the others later

Cheers,

Paul
