we left at about 9.30 as Neil had a conference call so we were delayed. We were nervous about leaving the marina due to the strong gusts but all went smoothly. A lot windier out here than we expected especially when we sailed past the Desertas Islands. Swelly too, the kind that makes your tummy turn upside down. It's asked a bit now to 17 knots ( we had up to 26 Knots earlier.) going well with good speed, and yes we saw dolphins on the way!
