No sooner than having settled into life in Mindelo it was time to head off into 2090nm of ocean. We had had a taste of Africa, stocked up in the local markets and were taking away many great memories. The reach off the start line through the acceleration zone off Sao Vincente exceeded expectations with a stiffer breeze than promised and views of spinnakers and mountains from our stern. After a tussle with Kiloran we bore away and just avoided loosing the breeze in the lee of the island. With blue skies giving way to a starry vista we kept the spinnaker up and had a great nights sail.
