Joy of Shamrock Quay - Cape Verdes Here We Come



Another day dawns on Joy of Shamrock Quay en route to Cape Verdes, with the finish line getting closer for our Mindelo arrival tonight. The moon was spectacular last night lighting up the sea with a shimmering eeriness. Light winds unfortunately meant slower speeds but as soon as the moon disappeared the swell returned and wind picked back up to 12-15 knots. No more sightings of catamaran Amaris overnight, we saw them again yesterday jibing in front of us and made contact with them on VHF to confirm we were picking them up clearly on radar.
Joy is still performing well despite lighter airs, no breakages or injuries other than stubbed toes and the odd bruise, and the sun is hot when it breaks through the cloud cover and I think the butter has definitely melted!
