Not much has changed it is still wet and windy but at least allowing us to get north quickly. I am currently level with the north of the Cape Verde Islands. Next land mass to pass is the Canaries and then we will all be making decisions over the movement of the high pressure around the Azores. The temperature is definitely changing now with the water and the air at night. I have found my socks and bots and even my base layer.
