Well at last the final day, still not enough wind to sail but its early in the day so maybe we will have some yet?
Surprisingly light ,and i can’t recall such winds on this Caribbean side  of Atlantic in any previous visits, they have never dropped below 15 knots or so.
 
Debs cooked eggs and bacon with a little roesti (potato bake) left over from last nights steak meal .
Provisions have held up really well and there’s not much we missed – except for beer which ran out about 8 days ago!
We still have oranges Philip!
 
Last net roll call today at 13.00 GMT in 1/2 hour – although some of our group have already arrived- I will definitely miss the characters and banter of it.
 
Should arrive as sun sets just after dark at around 6.00 to 8 pm this evening.. Depends on running engine faster nearer to destination- but need for caution on final leg, we don,t want to over heat it at this stage
 
Hopefully this will be the last blog at sea
Bye for now
