Sailed From Las Palmas at 1200 yesterday and all going well.
 
Approx 100 miles south of Gran Canary and 72 miles west of Cabo Bojador where Africa "proper" started for the Navigators in Prince Henry's time.
 
Position
Speed Currently 6kts but averaging 5kts since departure
Winds W'ly 3-4, blue skies and good viz.
ETA probably end Jan.
No fishing activity to speak of but Dolphins around at various times so prospects look good for when we do try.
 
Hopefully the boats Iridium connection is now stable but if you do not receive a sitrep do not worry its most likely to be our connection and we will call when we get to Antigua.
 
You can send txts for free by going to www.iridium.com website and following the instructions. The number of our phone is +881631682316 which you can call as you would any international phone but its expensive.
 
Please do not sent emails unless its important as it will choke up our mail system.
 
Yours
