We rounded the southern end of Sardinia as the sun set. At the same time we started to get breeze and swell from the north. With 1 reef in the main, mizzen and staysail we motor sailed at good speed through the night and had a much more comfortable night than the previous one. As the morning went on the breeze swung further towards NE and we got out the genoa. We have been making good progress today and with less than 100 nm to go we expect to anchor off Palma late tonight.
