Day 5 to the Cape Verdes

The wind was kind to us last night and a really good night was had by all,
the sailing was the best on this run so far. Last night was the invasion of
the flying fish with one actually hitting my hand and loads of others
hitting the boat and bouncing back off into the water, fish scales
everywhere, all we need is for the bigger cousins to act in the same manor
with the fishing gear, not tried the whisky trick Bill as we don't drink on
passage.

We are now only just a few hours away from our destination and we are both
scanning the horizon for that first sight of land, Ilha do Sal will never
look better.

Distance run from noon to noon - 141NM

Total distance run = 778NM

Distance to run = 31NM
Our position at noon - Lat 17 13.219N Long 22 42.508W
