Southbound
12 July 2008 | 49 02N, 003 34W; 15nm north of Les Sept Iles
WNW 12kt, visibility good, 1014 rising
'Viente' sailed from St Peter Port at 0550 this morning, bound for more southern latitudes. Starting the voyage with a nice sailing breeze; with the wind at WNW, we can just lay the course for Ushant. Winds are forecast to go light tonight and with a HIGH ridge over Biscay looks like a fair bit of motorsailing; but hopefully the Portugese Trades will oblige later.
Alls well on board.
