[status] On passage from Brazil towards Cape Verde
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.
It is a beautiful clear evening here, the temperature very pleasant, just cool enough to wear a fleece. THere are no ships to be seen although when we look at the AIS information on the chart there are many not too far away. A very busy corner in the Ocean.

[speed] 5.0 knots
[heading] 290 degrees true
Wind N 20 kts. 1m waves. Sky 0% cloud. Baro 1005
