Purrr-fect - Day 4-5. Better wind and moving again



After losing wind on day 3, we have managed to get up on the course to better wind. Flew the spinnaker for 14 hours yesterday and have been wing on wing (goose wing in British English) all of today. Seas are a little lumpy tonight with a swell that swings the stern around.

With Paul as third crew aboard, things are easier - easier to change sails, easier to get sleep with less hours on watch for each of us.

Have had beef, chicken, pork and tonight fish for dinners. So we are enjoying good eating and still trying to use our fresh fruits and veggies. No fish caught so far, but Dave and Paul are trying everyday.

Assuming our current speed, we hope to reach the Cape Verde islands sometime on Sunday, 7 days after leaving the Canary Islands.
