Thursday 19 November - Cape Verde 588 miles
The ocean is so bleak it is picturesque. There is a picture that is most often seen in cheap restaurants. It is a sailing ship, all sails flying, sailing across a troubled, almost turbulent ocean. That is how it has been today. Wind 20 - 25 knots, waves built high by the wind, and a slate gray sky. The kind of sky you expect to produce snow. And the temperature seems to be dropping the further south we go. Today we stayed in long sleeved shirts and light jackets. The wind is coming from almost behind us so it is more-or-less pushing us along. We are not uncomfortable and Advent is relaxed, just doing her job. All is well.
