Hard on the wind on starboard tack heading , not quite, towards Praia, the SE Port of entry in the Cape Verdes. Hopefully the wind will turn a little more NE now and then over the next few days to help us make landfall, otherwise we will need to tack back upwind.

[status] It was a good day, with Elizabeth out diving for her class and a nice happy hour last night with s/v Rehua and an Italian boat and the dive instructor from Munda Dive. Today is the final day for Elizabeth as she does her final three dives and will become a certified open water diver...assuming of course she passes the class. We hope to get our visas today for PNG, and get moving Tue or Wed this week! Yeah!

We've been motoring into a light north wind all day, trying to get as far north as we possibly can, before the forecast trade wind surge arrives and we peel off to the north west towards the Cape Verde islands, some 500nm away. The prevailing trade wind is N/NNE, so we will be hard on the wind for this stage of the voyage.
