Good progress for the first few hours with main sail and magic zero flying. As evening approached the wind gradually died. By midnight we resorted to motor power. Sea flat calm and no wind! This is not the weather we were expecting, and nor were the experts. If it carries on like this we will have to divert to the Cape Verde islands to refuel. We definitely don't have enough fuel to motor for 2800 miles! On the plus side, the stars were great, the sunrise is beautiful and we don't need to worry about batteries running down. So begins another day afloat.
