Heading for Madeira

Position: 14,18.1N , 21,4.41W
Speed: 7 knots, Course: 310 deg.

Pointing high towards the Canaries just east of the Cape Verde Islands heading for Madeira. Still not north of them yet. Sea rough, cloudy, rain and wet. 2 reefs in Main and Genoa. Once past Cape Verdes may bare away to make easier sailing and tack back over later on a reach. Makes it longer but easier on us and the boat.

Easy on you & the boat sounds good.
Maybe this adventure will turn recreational.

Hi Brian, Dov here. Just thought I would check in to see where you are. Looks like you're getting the adventure you wanted.. and more. No last frontiers left but to me you still "an explorer". Keep your spirits up and carry on the good work but do let us know as soon as you are back safe on dry land. Love Dov
