Day 8
DTD 1026nm
All good here, we had a bit of nice wind overnight and i think the current just kicked in. We've managed 5 to 6 knots of boat speed for 8 hours so the miles a coming off finally!!
The traffic is still very dense, the screen is never empty of ships, all day and all night, an average of 4 in our vicinity. Most of them are well away but we had to make room early morning, no one was answering the VHF.
Hopefully we are now properly on our way, and won't fall in any more wind holes!
SA here we come!
