Favorable Winds

We motored at 4.5 knots all day Monday with practically no wind at all. We found NE wind at 8 p.m. and have been sailing downwind at 8 knots of speed for the past 14 hours. Yeah! We need to continue going south toward the Cape Verdes Islands to stay out of the path of a forecasted system which will hit us in the face tonight if we try to make any westerly progress. All on board are fine. Thanks, Mary, for the fun news!
