Woke at 3:30am and set off in very light winds from E. They remained light, which was very frustrating, though the advertised light swell was a blessing. Unfortunately it meant we motor sailed basically the whole way to ensure we got in before dark, first with and mainsail out beyond Dog Island, Anguilla, before jibing round and heading toward North Sound with the genoa. By 8:00am we were out of sight of land, which remained the case amid thick Sahara dust until about 4:00pm. About 9:30am I spotted a tall ship under full sail and slowed to allow them to close - quite a sight!
