Second day towards Cabo Verde

This has to be the most beautiful sailing trip we’ve ever had ! We say this a couple of times a day – and when we’re on the radio with the SY Kira, they also agree. The wind is perfect with a absolutely constant 4-5 Beaufort from NE and the sea is very calm. We sleep and eat well. The children are happy, reading books or are playing. We’ve got sunshine all day – I could go on forever… Right now we’re cruising with a speed of 6.5 knots, course 220. Yesterday’s daily log (Etmal) was 125 miles which is quite ok. And I wouldn’t even want to be faster as this would just mean more waves and constant holding on to not fall from the seat, etc. Well, I just wanted to let you know that we’re VERY fine out here… Now I’m gonna have a big breakfast.
