Jan 11, 2007: Longing for fresh fruit

22°C / 72°F

Position:21° 35' 5" N-25° 22' 3" W

Wind: 37km/h

Our journey continues very well, we can keep up our daily mileage (between 100 and 110 sea miles).

Thanks to the present ideal conditions, we were able to modify our program: we skipped the stopover on the Cape Verde Islands and are heading directly towards "La Martinique" in the Caribbean. We carry enough food and water with us but our appetite for fresh fruit and vegetables has to wait for about three more weeks (in fact, we still have six oranges, two apples and eight bananas...!).

Wind NNE, 20 knots, "Mer forte, croisée".
Speed: 4,5 knots.
Distance today: 107 miles.
Moon: weaning.
Orion: in the south.
