Sunrise facing Africa coast |
Atlantic Ocean----Our trip from Morocco to the first Canary Island is suppose to take about 5 days or 90 hours. We decided to keep 2 hour watches with 4 hours off. My slot is from 11pm to 1am and 5am to 7am. This allows me to see the sunset and sunrise everyday which I love.

Last day: sunrise |

Strange Haze over the water is Sahara dust blown in from the African desert! |
|
A bit worn out but getting used to the 4 hours of sleep intervals |
We were able to put out both poles and sail down wind with about a 15 knot wind at our backs. It was glorious fun. Then the wind died and we needed to motor for the last day. Total time for passage: 93 hours.
