Santa Lucia
This is the name we have christened the last of our
egrets , she is very fiesty and has chased the other four off the boat , now she
is VERY comfortable around the boat striding up and down peering in the hatches
, very sweet ....
we are having another good days sailingsafter a
very quiet night , Richard and I had a very strange phenominom on our watch in
the night, we saw a " Moonbow" A rainbow in the dark illuminated by the
moon , a bit hard to describe but very beautifull.
another relaxed afternoon in the sun , the boat was
salmost sailing herself , just one little rainshower which sent us all scurrying
for cover ..
The boys have had a good supper , they had huge
burgers in a large homemade bread roll with spicy wedges and then treacle sponge
pudding and custard , everyone is on a diet when we reach St Lucia , provisions
are going well , we are on the last of our fresh veg , the fruit has all gone
bar the lemons , we have some cucumbers and tomatoes left , just running a bit
low on biscuits and cereal , so I made some flapjacks for this afternoons cuppa
, we are still in very good spirits and there is lots of laughter but we are all
a bit fixated on the wind and boat speed , and we are counting the days to
landfall .
