Finally commenced the trip as we set out from Tarfaya at 1.30. A small group of interested fishermen and tourists were there to see us off. Seas were very calm and we made good progress all afternoon and into the night. Very calm and foggy. Could see the lights from the Canaries and also from Africa on the horizon, very pleasant nights rowing but that is likely to be the best we get it. Hoping for good winds tomorrow night but are unsure what sort of weather to expect between now and then. Weather is hot during the day but the evenings can still be a bit chilly. Crew working well together and the 3 days together at sea have ironed out a lot of the teething problems in advance of the start of the main row.
