Wednesday 18 November

Wednesday 18 November - 723 miles from Sao Vicente
Day 1 - We are making exceptionally good progress, going in excess of 6 knots most of the time, and the seas are not really all that rough. But the seas are "dirty". Lots of random waves, big and small, coming from different directions, and the surface is "disturbed". It is a nervous ocean. The wind is dirty too. It is not really a steady breeze but more like it is spitting the wind, and from different directions. Even the air is dirty. Dirt from the Sahara blows with the wind and makes the sun a pale white and everything grimy. But we are making good progress and it is not all that uncomfortable.
