We were helped out of our berth just after 9AM by Bri and Pat, farewell lovely friends, we will miss you!

We motored about 2 hours in zero apparent wind, then the forecast NE breeze picked up. Now we are running dead square, averaging about 7 knots in 8 – 14 knots and half meter seas. Absolutely perfect conditions!

We are heading towards Cabo Verde first to get into more predictable weather and give us some options to respond to forecast changes. So far so good!

We had alcohol-free beers at sunset, and the ideal conditions persist. We are still cruising along at 5-6 knots with 10-12 knots from behind. Sea state still below 1m also from behind, so just a gentle roll.
