Today was another day with frustratingly little wind. Amazingly the spinnaker was unscathed after its prolonged encounter with the forestay so we flew it all day today, struggling to make 5knots. The breeze returned early evening and has now settled in direction again to NE 15 knots. We are doing some great surfs down the waves, with top speed tonight so far of 12.5 knots.
We've decided to chill out and stop for a few days in Barbados after all - quite a few of the families we have met are stopping there so it should be a fun way to spend some time relaxing at the end of the trip.
Distance to run is now showing just under 1100nm!
