Leg 2 kicked off with a short race

and Minerva's all new crew got stuck in straight away.

No match for the winner - the mighty Isis, though their crew have been honing their team skills all the way from Portmouth with only a couple of new additions.

Running under engine into the night head to wind south to the Canaries where we should see land by Tues tea time.

Greetings to all the friends and families back home from Minerva with its dwindling cargo of crisps and chocolate!
