Today’s News
The last 24 hours we have seen high flying dolphins, whales and beautiful conditions. We are unsurewhat type of whale it was, maybe a Sei, but we followed it for a while snapping photos. We have also had plenty of shipping in sight as everyone is converging on the corner of Africa. We had a stunning sunset last night with oily calm seas, the first one we have seen on the whole trip where there were no clouds blocking it. A near full moon lit up the night with no clouds in the sky and this morning the wind started to fill in behind us giving us a nice push. We are motor sailing with main, mizzen and genoa. With just over 250 miles to go we should arrive in Lanzarote around midday tomorrow.
