The trade wind has been very light since leaving Namibia. It varies between about 8 knots which is only sufficient to move and 15 which gives us good sailing with all sail setting. Today we have 15. When it is light the boat is not steadied by the sails so it is actually more uncomfortable and we roll more than with the fresher wind.
We collected some nice fresh fruit and veges at St Helena so are eating very well. No fish yet, though we still have some tuna in the freezer.
We are getting excited about Brazil and hope to see a bit of carnival.
