Novedia - Set Environnement, Message from the boat
After much debate we choose to gybe back out east...again last night in search of stronger winds. Having spent yesterday crawling round the internet and looking through a lot of weather data, we decided that there was a 'significant' chance of stronger breeze off the Nouadhibou headland in Mauritania - good geography lesson! Anyway. Long story short, excellent 20 knots from NNE has helped us take over 20 miles from Giovanni in the last two position updates. More importantly, we are now only 29 miles from 6th and still flying along. We expect to gybe back this morning and begin the 300 mile leg down to the Eastern side of the Cape Verde's. Got to go, fingers crossed all round! Full Story »
