This morning (in less than a couple of hours) we will push out of here, saying goodbye to these Islands after spending 3 weeks around them – fascinating place. We will then head vaguely east north east and aim for Tristan da Cunha and from there, further eastward to Cape Town. This morning is dark and very cold, with light winds coming from the south right now (Antarctica!). They will swing to the west in a day or so and now to the northwest and push us over the ocean. I have some observations and the like about the Falklands and I’ll get around to sending those once we get used to our watch system and establish a routine on the boat.

For now, thanks for reading and thank you to all who who sent good wishes and the like.
