Having lost considerable ground to the boats in our class during the first 48 hours due to the damage to our light airs cruising chute, we gambled on taking a more direct line towards St Lucia while most other boats headed south for the more favourable winds. Unfortunately it looks like our gamble will not pay off as the last 24 hours has seen us slowed by light winds and we are forced to head south before once more turning to the west and our destination.

We down towards 18N and hopefully more consistent winds. We are now headed SSW and will make the turn once we hit the stronger easterlies.

All aboard remain fit and well, eating and sleeping properly and last night Glenn cooked up some superb Sushi and Sashimi followed by vegetable rice with fresh tuna steaks.

The boat is in good shape and there is still time to read, listen to music and relax when off watch.

It’s difficult to find good crew nowadays!!!!!!!!!!!
