Watch change over day, got a really good sleep and went to the gym. The swell has eased slightly. The weather has been overcast for the past 5 days but today the sun was out, despite the force 5 wind blowing, it was a pleasant afternoon.
Compass correction using the sun at sunset this evening, the sun was very big and could see spots on it, a small flash of green as it disappeared over the horizon.
We could pick up the coastguard station on the VHF, something that should be completely impossible as VHF has a maximum range of 40 miles, the coastguard station is 300 miles away. I think its due to the temperature layers in the atmosphere as a surface to bounce the signal off.
Just over 900 miles to go until Cape Town, current location is 300miles off the coast of Namibia.
