Helen - Ed leaves the Cape Verdes

Ed, the Iguana, has crossed the Atlantic 17 times joining yachts crewed with
young people. This year he sailed down from Las Palmas to the Cape Verdes
with Eve and John on Yacht Helen, who helped him to write his Blog.

For the next leg of his trip to the Galapagos he is still on board Yacht
Helen, which is now an adults only boat.

Ed has promised to write his own Blog for this leg but there will be more
adult themes! This is only appropriate for an Iguana that has passed his
18th birthday!

Ed enjoyed a refreshment in the Sailor's Bar when the sun went over the yard
arm but still managed to get to the start at 1pm.

The wind was excellent for the first three hours but then it dropped to 6
knots. Engine on with 2,059 miles to go!

Captain, Yacht Helen
