Nexus - First day underway to St Helena



Well we started the rally with a whimper, no wind, then a rush of 30+kts with some urgent reefing, and now we have pretty steady 15-20kts aft and lumpy seas. Beautiful sailing with one whale spotted and we're loping along staying amongst the faster boats rather than running of on our own. The new sails are great, hold shape well and we've been keeping pace with more reefs than we usually have. The crew is familiarizing well, and we're all looking forward to a smooth run to St Helena at this point! Cape Town and Table Mountain were beautiful as we sailed away, we'll miss them. All is well!
