At 04:00 the wind started picking up. Now it's ENE 4-5, typical Trade wind. Engine turned off at 04:30, having used about 1/8th of our fuel capacity. Since then our speed has dramatically increased from 3.5kn to approx 6.0kn. So we hope a stop in Cape Verdes won't be required. Morale is good. Everyone sleeping a lot whilst getting used to the watch system.
