Managed to sail from 03:45 until 13:30 when frustration necessitated engine on once more. Fortunately we are in a good current – at last – so though we are motoring at 4+knots we are doing 6+ COG. Looking good for an evening arrival in Fortaleza tomorrow.

Had some fun watching dolphins playing at the bows. Very different from the ones back home – light grey with a narrower beak. Also I think we had a whale dive under the boat – a small one only about 7m. Black with a dorsal fin like a hump back, but looked more like a over sized dolphin.

Supper left overs followed by fruit and custard.

Looking forward to showers and getting really clean.

Cheers

Chris

PS Claire when is your mum coming back to CT?
