Miranda Merron / Campagne de France: "Campagne de France is a hundred miles west of the Island of Santo Antão (altitude 1979 m) in Cape Verde. The wind is easing and, as is often the case, is not like the forecast predicted. I’ll probably have to change sails. The night is dark, with the moon providing just a little light at the beginning of the night. There are a lot of flying fish - one even grazed my hair, almost ruining my blow-dry! Next step is the Doldrums."
