20 knots of wind gusting 23 upwind sail

Another beautiful downwind sail with winds up to 22knots. Stunning view of Farol do Cabo de Sao Vincente at daybreak.

Beautiful NW /W wind 12-20 knots sailed on a broad reach. Strong winds overnight. Light winds the following day. We got the spinnaker up. Saw dolphins and pilot whales. Jumped of the boat for a quick swim. Winds died and had to motor the last six hours.

Nice gentle first day sail with a new crew. Slight winds 8 to 12 kts.

Beautiful sail with 11-19 knots of wind, largely on the beam

Light winds so motor sailed with a fair bit of rain. A chance to practice a few marks and furling and unfurling ahead of our passage tomorrow.

Great conditions, tacked upwind before a beautiful downwind sail with the Asymmetric spinnaker. I was on trimming the Genoa and Spinnaker. A worrying moment when we lost 80% of steerage but dismantling the auto helm temporarily resolved the issue.

First day of training, spent the morning on the dock running scenarios due to fog. Then a great afternoon sailing in 20knots of wind, got the asymmetric spinnaker up and hit 8knots of boat speed.
