Gertha 5 - Day 1 Las Palmas to Mindelo or is it day 2



26.12N 16.42W

It may be day 2, but we have not completed 24 hours of sailing, so maybe day 1.

Start line been and done, motor away from island done, sailing in good breeze and flat sea done, now we are in the real world. The sea is lumpy and coming from three directions, the wind is about 20 knots, we are sailing on just Genoa.

Think this is what we have for next 5 or 6 days give or take a little bit of wind and a little bit of swell.

Gertie is behaving well, just her usual party tricks.

Charlie is offering fishing lures to Neptune, all a cunning plan to catch the ultimate tuna.
