Hey Tony,

itīs Tango, Lithuanian, been in jail in St. Helena, remember me? :) We made 2270 miles in 17 days to Cabo Verde, Mindelo, all was fantastic, skipper was good guy and no storms. Now I am waiting here for a yacht to Latin America. How is it on the island? Thanks again for all your help!

Francisco,

I have been following in the footsteps of Prince Henry's navigators ever since I left Faro.
First it was the Cabo Verde islands then Sao Tome, Princip and now St Helena fond by Joan da Nova in 1610. Maybe you could look them up at school. Glad I went to Batalia where Henry is imortalized.
Good luck and have you been back to were we met at that lagoon just north of Penice????

Am sending a letter so you should get it in about a month. It goes by yacht to Brazil then post to Clive. The internet here is very bad and expensive.

Hi Tony just catching up, not much happening in Clive It does seem you are having a wonderful adventure looking at the photographs, we were chatting  to Christine over the wall  yesterday and she told me to look on facebook and low and behold there you were. We have just put Rogerstone on the market, and are getting ready for a move, still in Clive hopefully, got to go we have a viewing at 4 o clock. regards Graham.

Hi Tony thanks for your call the other day.Have no plans to do the ARC this year so won`t be in the Cannaries this autumn but I`m sure we`ll catch up for a beer sometime.
All the best John.

Thanks for your reply Tony. I did expect Chris to turn up in Solver harbour during late august, but I didn`t see him. If he expects lots of sun in Pembrokeshire. He might have a long wait, although this weekend has been surprisingly sunny.
As I said in my last message, I will keeep an eye on your progress. They are very interesting logs and great to read as you sail further and further away from G.B. We wish you well and it is likely that we will do all we can to be there on your return, and meet up properly.
Bon Voyage.
Dave, Julie and Josie.
