Hi all...
The time is flying by..or so it seems most of the
time, this is our last weekend of the crossing and we hope to be in St Lucia on
Friday, or latest Saturday morning.
The last few days have been really strange and
frustrating weatherwise, the winds has been really light, and we've had several
monsoon like rain storms, and as we want to arrive in St Lucia this side of
christmas theres been a lot more motoring than we would have
wanted.
And now we're in a real hurry..the food run
out a few days ago.. but more importantly the few beers we had on board
have gone, we cant remember drinking them so its a mystery!
We've done a bit of fishing and caught a Barracuda
and a tuna, but they were both caught after dinner so they were thrown
back..(and nobody can be bothered to kill and cook them).
At the moment we think we're around 6th position in
our class with almost all the boats in front of us being bigger and
faster..so we're not doing to badly.
We're now down to cans and packets of dried food,
so there will be no sunday roast today,which is good as Its my turn to
cook.
At the moment the wind has picked up and we are
flying both main and gennaker and doing 7-8 knots.. St Lucia here we
come!
Love to all
