We are off the dock, out of the marina, all cleared out gassed up and just about rounding the bottom of Gran Canaria island.

With little wind 5kn we are running in flat smooth water with both engines just around 1800 rpm, pushing 5kn of boat speed. Hoping that we get a little more wind after we round the island.

Forecast has some rough weather on the nose on the rhum line (er straight line to St. Lucia) so we are heading further south to sneak around the corner near the Cape Verde islands.

Beautiful wether, sunny no clouds in the sky. Just need a little more wind to take the sails out.

As the crow flies, 2670kn miles to go.
