Anettine - 28:07:70N 15:25:50W, A good start



We are happy with the start. The genaker was set 3 minutes before start and we crossed the line 20 seconds late. A block for the mainsheet broke during a jib 5 minutes before start. The mainsheet is now heavy to work, but it will not have any impact other than on Steins arms. We will make the repair in Cape Verde. We carried the genaker in 7-13 m/s wind until around 1700 when we had to take it down because of heavy sea.
20-30 playful dolphins made us a visit just before sunset.
Making 8,5-9 knots in the dark with the genua spread with boom and full mainsail. We have good contact with far bigger boats just before dark, so we believe we are making it good overall,
