We Made It!
Finally at 8.45pm on Friday night, in high winds
and rain showers we made it all the way to the beautiful island of St Lucia.
After crossing the line and being shown to our birth we were presented with a
basket of fruit and a bottle of rum which was very welcome. Then it was a quick
change and everyone out for some 'light refreshment' - translation - rum punch!
We partied to the wee small hours in a very strange club but a great time was
had by all.
Saturday morning, feeling a little fragile, we went
through the boat getting it clean and tidy after being home to the
five of us for three weeks. After a very healthy lunch of salad in a nearby bar,
yes even the boys, we headed off to our hotel for a nice hot shower and a good
nights sleep.
We've all enjoyed the wonderful experience of the
ARC and are proud to have been involved in the exciting engineering trail of the
Emerald Fuel Cell. On a personal note, thank you for reading about our exploits
and I hope we've kept you entertained.
