at 2100 tonight our position is
14 30 94N 56 41 12W
and we have hasd a full day motoring towards st lucia
we are now 244 miles away so should reach rodney bay marina sometime on
saturday but i have to admit that a little of the romance has died now we
are motoring. there is a sense of freedom about sailing that is wuite
magical that is lost when motoring. the boat is being pushed along rather
than pulled along by the force of nature and the boat sits very differently
in the water--- now we all just want to arrive
ive havent had time to read at all on the journey but today read an entire
novel
we have had a very lazy day and the weather has been excruciatingly hot and
humid. golly has slept for 6 hours and jason has been fishing and caught a
new type of perch style fish about 2kg which we released
we did not eat lunch today it was so hot but have tried to drink a lot of
fluid
skip has slept a lot today but excelled with bacon and chicken skewers with
rice and peas for dinner
tomorrow is a day for cleaning outside and inside in readyness for arrival
on land
a bit of a boring day today--- im not complaining i hear it has just started
to snow and sleet in the uk
tonight we are sad to hear a crew member aboard the yacht ocean wanderer has
died lasst from a suspected heart attack --- our thoughts are with his
family
sleep tight
