All is well aboard the good ship Tioram. We have just enjoyed an special afternoon running down the Portuguese coast towards Lisbon with 20+ knots of wind behind us surfing down the waves.
Tony’s comment in the log says it all – “boat beautifully balanced – Bob Marley playing”
We have the genoa poled out which gives her great balance and a maximum surf of 12.1kts. No one can claim this best speed record except Mr Autopilot.
We have just had a great supper out in the cockpit and have now shortened sail for the night – still making a good 7/8kts.
We have sailed 688miles from Falmouth and have 66 miles to run to our next waypoint off Lisbon and then to Cabo de Sao Vincente and south-east to Gibraltar.
Love to friends and family
