Getting under way

We are thrilled to say that we are cleared out and heading to sea today. It's time for an ocean passage to a new continent. Much as we've enjoyed Africa we're looking forward to new adventures and hoping they don't involve quite as much boat work. St. Helena is our next stop and after a rest of a few days, weather permitting, we'll continue on to Brazil. The first passage of 1200 miles should take just over a week. We hope to update our progress when we arrive in St. Helena. To everyone at home, we're glad to hear that spring has finally arrived.
