Canaries Outbound Day 1

Hi everyone,
We departed Pasito Blanco at 0900 on Thursday in a nice ENE breeze.

At 1200 on Friday we were at 25 55N 017 40W steering 280M, sailing under 2 reefs with 3 furls in the yankee at 5 knots. The wind was 20G24 from the NE - on our starboard quarter. Our noon to noon run over the ground was 144nm. Exactly 6 knots average which is pretty good for us. Over the ground since our log is under-reading due to weed growth in the marina.

Kazi the WindPilot went into action immediately on departure and has been steering since. We had good breeze for our first 24 hours but under an overcast sky. Initially we sailed SSW. 24 hours after departure we gybed to head W.

This morning we're finally getting some sun.

Trust all's well where you are.
