If you click on the map it will enlarge and it is easier to see their course. 25 Jan 2010: All safe and sound arrived at Mindello Cabo Verde this morning. Very easy trip, so so so good. Hardly touched the helm or the sails for 8 days! This place is very cool, cant wait to explore. Thanks Nae and Pop for the updates, Jonboy
18/01/10: Well Jonboy is off again on another adventure. Team DB with Capt Dan and Richie onboard has left port in the Canaries and is on the way to Cape Verde off the coast of West Africa. They left at 9am this morning and this time there are no tight timeframes to met and flights to catch at the other end so the journey will unfold as it unfolds! Current Coordinates are Lat: 27N 45'00", Long: 14W 50'00".
19/01/10: The boys have made good progress in the last 24 hours. There isnt a lot of wind around at the moment though they are hoping that it will increase in the afternoon/evening. Current Coordinates are Lat: 26N 20'00", Long: 15W 45'00".
21/01/10: Well we have skipped a day without an update but we are on day 4 and they have crossed the Tropic. They have caught their first Dolphin fish so they have had a bit of fresh food! There hasnt been much change in the wind which is NE between 10 and 17kn. So far everything is going well. Current Coordinates are Lat: 23N 15'00", Long: 19W 36'00".
22/01/10: The sailing is still going great and are flying the geneker at the moment. They are making excellent progress and catching lots of fish along the way. Estimates have them at Cape Verde in about 3-4 days. Current Coordinates are Lat: 21N 03'00", Long: 21W 03'00".
