A quick Skipper changeover at 0400 this morning at Rota and sailing at 7 knots SOG with 2 reefs in the mainsail has Great Escape now in position just off Faro. Skipper Stephen reports T-Shirts on with sunnies and making good progress. Now that's good sailing for January in the Atlantic.
Further north RYA Sailing Yacht Dogstar had a windswept day, with 30 knots over the deck. The weather for the remainder of the week looks exceptionally windy throughout the Med. Check out http://www.passageweather.com/
