Todays the day it's 24 C 70 something F sun's shining winds blowing nicely we've been filling the water tanks and the spare water barrels!  We have enough food on board to feed the starving of two continents so we'll both put on weight!  Fishing tackle is handy apparently people have been catching tuna around here so look out Ben your record of 22"  yellowfin tuna is in serious jeopardy!  Not that we're competitive! 
We just have to go to the fuel pontoon and top up the diesel and we'll be off.  Heading towards Barbados although the winds at present look like they might take us higher over the next couple of weeks, so we may end up in St Lucia. 
Thanks for all your good wishes we'll try and keep our blog up to date, but don't worry if you don't hear anything sometimes the signal is poor.
We're just going for a last hot shower then we're off.
