Day 20: Sv. Sv. Kiril i Metodii Avoids a Cyclone en Route to Cape Verde

On the morning of the 20th day of its voyage to Antarctica, the Bulgarian scientific research ship Sv.Sv Kiril i Metodii (NAVAL RSV 421) has made it halfway between the Canary Islands and the Cape Verde archipelago, keeping a south-southwest course across the Atlantic Ocean.
"Time and the elements are with us. We managed to avoid a cyclone that formed in the north. When we pass by the Cape Verde archipelago, the cyclone will already be behind us and will not catch up," said the commander of NIK 421, Captain Nikolay Danailov.
