Current position "18:19.8N 42:51.9W”. Fabulous night’s sailing last night with lots of sailing between 7 and 10 knots through the night. Peak was a new record at 12.1 knots at about 5:15 am. Our ETA for St Lucia is somewhere between lunchtime Thursday 8th and same time the next day; target is to make it in time for closing time on Thursday evening! Between now and then of course lots to do and miles to travel. We’ll pass the 1000 nm to go point at some point early this coming morning.

 

Attached pics show growing waves overnight – they’ve been about 5 metres this morning – the one shot at night is difficult to make out but you probably get the idea; perhaps easier top see is the breaking wave threatening to give Chris a hairwash rather than his lunch! Meantime we’ve been fishing again and here you see the Dorado as blue streak behind us as we haul in, and then a shot as it tries to get free of the lure, and the final shot on board. We had Dorado and rice for lunch!

 

Otherwise we’re continuing with good progress, cleaning up the boat, and driving on!
