For the past 48 hours we have been getting unforcasted 20-25 knot westerlies accompanied by rain and more rain. This has meant that we are getting to our mark just east of the Cape Verde Islands in good time even though it seems like it has been ages. We are on a close reach so the yacht is leaning over (too much) and waves crash over the bow, down the side, drenching us in loads of warm Atlantic water. This means we have not been dry for a couple of days and down below is getting very musty and quite frankly nausious. Oh for some blue sky and warm sun again. It's all good extreme sport.
