Just sat down to our evening canopies and another squall jumps  up on us.Just when the skipper was opening the 10 year  old glenfiddich to celebrate the last 500 miles.
Chris toasted Cuthbert's (St Lucia director of tourism and weather) good health for sending us some rain to wash with.
We may have to rest Larry the autohelm after a night of 3m waves and squalls of 30+ knts.Larry is finding the conditions a bit tough and groaning and moaning.But Doris the duogen has performed superbly.there u go no female downs on this boat especially after 18 days at sea.
We saw a rainbow in the night.I thought they only came out to play in the day?
Making great progress in the trade winds with regular 6+knts average which is great for Dances
My bet for St Lucia arrival time is way ahead of the others but i,m not going to say what it is. That would put the mockers on it.
See u all sometime.
