We crossed the Tropic of Cancer at some point in the last 24hrs, a first for both of us!

 

The temperature has become noticeably warmer, I am typing this at 04.59 and I am in a tee shirt !

 

Highlights of the day ?

We saw another yacht which we caught and passed, it was nail biting stuff like watching two snails jockeying for position at a speed barely noticeable to the naked eye ! Still it meant our entertainment was stretched over most of the day and Magnum did the honourable thing and left them in our wake.

 

We also passed the time doing a general knowledge quiz, from a book called “so you thing you know everything” (thanks Michelle X) I’m sure you will all be as surprised as I was to find out that, apparently, neither of us do know everything.

 

Had delicious veggie and lentil soup this evening followed by 6 hours solid sleep for Mark, thanks Amanda :-)

 

Winds are forecast to be lighter for the next couple of days, not sure what that will mean to out arrival time at Mindelo, but we want to avoid arriving in the dark so may have to slow our approach.
