Ayesha II - Head south until the butter melts.....




Hello from Ayesha II, 16'45.665'N 026'05.318'W

Made a brief 'splash & dash' for fuel at Mindelo, Cape Verde this morning. Interesting volcanic island with large assortment of yachts and commercial vessels. Picture is of David concentrating whilst trying to avoid yachts queuing at fuel dock. After a hearty breakfast we headed south (until butter melted) before finally turning west toward our final destination. Just 2090NM to go, sea state sloppy after yesterdays storms but soon calmed down to allow 8knts+ 260degrees reaching under double reef. Avidly following the grib files to make the most of the wind.
