We've Arrived in St Lucia!

At 5.53am this morning we crossed the finish line in Rodney Bay, St Lucia. 
 
We are now feeling a bit shell shocked.  Last night was wind squalls and lashing rain - as the pictures show, we arrived in quite a state!  It is quite strange to hear bird and see trees, eat breakfast in a cafe and also for the boat to be flat and still.

Ragamuffins
 
Anyhow, we are all fit and well, although our legs were a bit wobbly when we stepped out onto the dock.  Plans are already afoot to hire a jeep and we are thinking about going to Anse de la Rey's seafood dinner this evening, where one of the St Lucian villages sets up tables and chairs in the main street and all the locals cook their catches of the day. 
 
The other HPYC boat, Azure, is expected to arrive around 11am this morning.
