Afternoon all

It was a fantastic site leaving Mindelo with 60 odd other boats and cats running down between the islands. Even the local coppers had a RIB out taking pictures.

Had a good start and made up lots of places which we lost again overnight due to running a bit too far S but its a long way to go. Wish I'd paid a bit more attention to Rhum lines theory instead of thinking its a dried powdered alcohol!

We got the kite up about an hour ago and are charging along at 10-12kn. Main is reefed down to avoid another 'issue' that we don't talk about !

More later. Much fatigue getting back in to the watch patterns but will survive.

The old seafarers tales of heading S until the butter melts then go W is quite correct - the wind is good and strong and its is absolutely baking in the sun !

More soonest
