The first day on bord

Wow, what a day. It's been 30hrs since we left Las Palmas. We had winds from zero to 40 knots constantly changing direction (especially a night), we have waves constantly shaking us around. Alita is handling it very well, as always. Couple of waves broke over board so we got splashed quite bit. In the center cockpit however you stay very dry. It's great to be back on board and we're getting used to it. Big turtles passed our way and I saw two groups of little bird flying passed us so far away from land. Our current position at UTC 18:17 is 26°16,5'N and 016°49,92'W. We just had a wonderful dinner and now I will have the shifts into the sunset and sunrise. I hope this message via radio works.
