Dear All,

 

As i sit here in our saloon I cant believe that we have arrived and its over.

Its two hours until I leave to pick up Lynn from the airport after five weeks, I feel so emotional writing this so no witty quips on this one.

I thought crossing the Atlantic was just going to be another tick on the wish list but as we were crossing and we were receiving so many emails I then realised how many of you were watching us on the yellow brick it was becoming so much more we felt that we were sailing on behalf of all of you, the highlight of our days were reading your emails which were so full of encouragement, I have to thank Clive for mastering the ipad cut & paste technique so that we were able to track our progress as we had no access to yellow brick.

I think the record for sending the most emails must go to Lynn and likewise me to her.

I must quote one of Lynn’s past sayings in summing up our crossing 60% boredom 35%  excitement 5% sheer terror. I spent one night watch cuddling our EPIRB not daring to look behind in the darkness, I don't think I have what it takes to be a long distance Ocean Sailor however the object of the exercise has been completed, Out-Rageous is in the Caribbean man!

 

More on the Caribbean in the next blog went to my first “Fish Fry” last night which is a street party, head still heavy from spiced rum and thumping Caribbean Music. Cant wait to go to my first “Jump Up”
