Charm - Hello Friends and Family



Hello,

90 miles from Mindelo and the winds are still as fickle as ever. We are sailing with our rainbow spinnaker on the rhumb line but it is slow going - 5.8 knots. Fast on some boats. The crew is getting along great and eating very well. Our veggies are still fresh so lots of tomatoes, avocados, carrots and celery in the mix. Cucumbers too. Everyone is enjoying the peaceful albeit slow progress but the racer in Kent may have had enough of peace.

We saw a very beautiful turtle this morning. It may have had a bit of trash stuck to it but we couldn't confirm it as it passed by so taking in the sails to investigate and help was overcome by the ambiguity.

The kids and Lara are doing a story time session - Winnie the Pooh. Christopher Robin and the gang are bringing food on an adventure in the story now... In case they want to eat it.

The fickle wind has picked up a bit. 2 more knots makes a big difference in boat speed.

Tomorrow we will be in port and I will be wishing I was at sea. Today I am on the sea not wishing I was in port.

Love,

The Charmers
