We’ve filled up with fuel and water, slipped our lines and left Europe at 5pm today. Currently, we are motoring in the shadow of the island, and whilst it would be nice to think that there is a good breeze waiting for us, I’m not holding my breath. It may be a quiet night, which is no bad thing.

So the email works, the weather is fine and we look forward to the next 2697 miles.
