08:00 - 08:00. We were flying along under a reefed main sail and genoa with
the reduced swell and 15-20 knots of wind. The GPS had us arriving on
Tuesday evening and the boat was performing brilliantly... and then the wind
died!
Today is absolutely glorious, the sun is bright there are the usual fluffy
clouds of the trade winds but just not a lot of wind to go with them. We
preserved all morning with various sail combinations and just generally
enjoyed our first day of no swell and bright sunshine and a hot shower. We
have now given up and put on the motors, so with all that extra power we
might be treated to DVD tonight unless the wind comes back. ETA is still
Wednesday, probably early afternoon.
Position @ 15:20:
Distance run = 625 miles
Position = 33 24'.007N, 11 41'.142W
Distance to Graciosa, Canaries = 262 miles

hi kev and jo, keeping up to date with the blog always, sounds like you are having a fantastic time in these early days of your travels. i have tried iridium but no luck. keep in touch phil joy and sean.
Been checking in everyday - sounds amazing! The boat certainly sounds like she is the right choice for the trip.
We are so jealous that your off already - we have 9 weeks left now (and counting!) somedays it seems so close (and time is flying) other days it seems so far away still.
Fair winds!!
Jonny & Kate
