We are at last out of the Atlantic! The last couple of days have been so uncomfortable it is hard to think why any one is ever tempted to do this slow way west. We are all bumped and bruised. But at last there is a little relief.
Midnight saw us passing between Guadeloupe and Antigua and into the Caribbean. A couple of hours later the wind did not lessen but the waves are not so vicious and we can move a little bit better. Down side is more shipping - three spotted overnight, which is going to spoil our sleep a little. Sun shining, coffee on, about to get the weather.
Gibraltar to Cape Verde 1691 miles, 15 days Cape Verde to here 2182 miles, 16 1/2 days Hot news. Last night Dave dropped a winch handle in the cockpit. He bent down to pick it up and gave himself a fright when he picked up a fish instead!!! By last night we were so crotchety with fed-up-ness over the state of the sea we were ready to get off, except there were no buses! Much better this morning! Missing you all and the internet contact, we will be at least another week - then onto skype!!
