Well today the crew disperse and the ARC phase of
Juniper's winter comes to an end. The party atmosphere in St Lucia is tremendous
and tales of the sea abound - some horror stories but mostly of a great
adventure, as we all feel. We saw Whales, Dolphin and caught a few fish in a
vast ocean that hid other competitors from view for 12 days and a gave us a
night sky of stars and then moonlight as bright as the day. All making our
memories of the trip ones that will linger. We have often asked each other "what
was the best bit" to which our overwhelming reply is "all of it." None of us
will, however, forget the rolling motion.....
Some final stats
2850 miles travelled
Engine hours 0
Generator hours 122
Watermaker made 1500 ltrs
Overall time 16 days 4 hours 10
minutes
63rd boat to arrive out of 220
I thought I would finish off with some photographs
of the finish. These can be viewed in full on www.photoaction.com.
