Crew changes...
Today is the end of the Caribbean adventure for Catherine and I. We fly home this afternoon after 1126 Nm cruising around since early December last year. It has been an incredible time; we have met some lovely people, visited exciting places, overcome plenty of challenges and made lots of memories.

A young French couple, Romain and Pauline, have arrived to join Simon and Nigel for the return Atlantic crossing and an American, Coleman, and a Brit, Liz, will make up the team in the next few days.

We wish them fair winds and a safe crossing back to Spain and look forward to hearing all about it soon.
