The Generator failed in the early hours leaving us with no option but sailing. The raw water impellor had broken up and although we have a spare the lack of an 11mm spanner made this a very fiddly job. I did a long watch once we got started as I had the most sleep (the failure occurred just after my watch). Rounded cape St Vincent at 13:00 and Cap de Sagres at 14:50. Protected for the first time from the raw Northerly wind the weather immediately turned blissfully warm so I decided it was time to drop the foul weather gear in favour of a t-shirt and shorts.During the day we were visited by dolphins and a very curious turtle.
