CARANGO AMEL 54 #035 - The End of the Circumnavigation

The End of the Circumnavigation - ST Lucia once more

CARANGO AMEL 54 #035

PETER and VICKY FORBES

Tue 11 Apr 2017 18:51

14:04.46N 060:57.01W

With our comrades we lined up at Marigot Bay and in Indian file astern in order of size with big yachts at the back we motored [and sailed a bit] North for the 10 miles to the finish line in Rodney Bay.

The Fleet ahead some 12 yachts in line

The AIS plot of ducks in a line

Two yachts astern an Oyster 56 and an Oyster 62.

We finished with call “Carango congratulations on the completion of your circumnavigation with World ARC and welcome to St Lucia”

Together at the beginning and together at the end - Champagne flows

The final crew celebrates

Now for the party and the Prize giving
