Almost there!

None of the fabled light airs that dogged the end of the Cape to Rio races.We're off Cabo Frio now and battling big wind and big seas on the beam - 3 reefs and a stormjib. Not comfortable but we're nearing our destination very fast. We are 90nm from Ilha Grande and unless the wind abates somewhat we'll have to heave to and wait for first light before going in to the anchorage. Our position is 23 11.957S 42 22.788W. Will write a more detailed blog tomorrow. Just wanted to let you all know that we are fine and very excited to be reaching our journeys end.
