Fleet II - Log Day 5: a slow but satisfying day



Well, the winds have been slow to pick up so we’ve been struggling to make speed all day.  At one point the YB app was predicting our arrival in Mindelo on 20th November!   Despite the temptation we have steadfastly refused to start the engine – skipper Peter’s philosophy is that we’ll sweep the back of the fleet so we can say hi as we go past (perhaps...).  At least we’ve now tried all the sails and the majority of possible configurations!  I’m pleased to report that this evening the wind speed is now up to 12 knots, right behind us, so at last we’re making a much better SOG. 
Highlights of the day included meeting Pearl Bali who drew up alongside us for a chat, and then some whale spotting, after their crew spotted him spouting in front of us.
Hasta manana
