We arrived in St Lucia and crossed the finish line at
11.05 local time, we were the 83rd ARC boat to arrive. We had completed
3362 nautical miles in 3 weeks. A wonderful welcome with people
waving and blowing horns etc. We were then given rum punch, cold beers and
a basket with fruit and rum. Formalities had to be completed and catching
up with friends who had beaten us in. Well done to Caduceus, Bonobo,
Rikaros, Big Spirit and all the others. This seemed to take most of
the rest of the day. George and Roger went off to find the cold beer
at lunchtime! In the evening we had a bottle of bubbly and a few
glasses of wine and lovely fillet steak and chips at one of the
restaurants in the marina.
A lovely night's sleep in a bed that didn't move
although we did wake up to do night watches! Today is being spent doing
the laundry and cleaning the boat.
Rodney Bay Marina is buzzing, lots going on.
Haven't made it out of the marina yet to have a look round but will do that
soon. Today is St Lucia day and its a bank holiday. There is a
lot of live entertainment to go and watch.

Signing off now that we are safely back in
harbour and handing over to the people again.
