Atlantic Passage: Mindelo to Martinique - Day 12

We have now passed the three-quarter mark on our journey, despite a slow
afternoon's sail yesterday in light winds. The wind has picked up since
daybreak this morning however and we are making very good speeds under
Spifurl. The weather is hot and sunny again with blue skies and small white
fluffy clouds (cumulus for those in the know). We had a little light rain
again overnight, finally cleaning some of the Saharan dust from the sails.
We continue with our routine trying not to think about the end just yet as
there is still away to go.


Distance covered noon to noon: 134nM
Position @ noon: Lat 14 52.925N, Long 51 02.396W
Total distance = 1617nM
Distance to run = 575nM
