It took us to 01:30 this morning to get the wind free from the effects of the Cape Verde islands. A full 24miles SW of the last small island Brava. A mixture of acceleration, (+ 10-15 knots),less wind (- 15knots) and 180 degree wind shifts. Enjoying steady NE 5 since then.

Will be listening to HERB on the radio tonight as he talks about the weather prospects – 12,359Hz at 20:00 GMT for those with a short wave radio. The weather files we get has a low wind patch at our latitute in a couple of days time.
