We have made great progress in the past few days. After more than 2 weeks at sea we are all feeling slightly cut off!
We think we will be in St Lucia on Thursday, timing depends a lot on the wind. Over the past 24 hours the weather has changed a lot. The relentless trade winds have eased and we are no longer rolling through 90 degrees every 20 seconds! I managed to sleep for a solid 5 hours last night. The downside being that we are slower now and will need to work on the sails harder today to maintain our boat speed.
Its a lovely morning - sunrise etc.. here so I shall go and enjoy it. Whilst we are all keen to arrive, we will look back and savour these precious mornings where there is not another soul in sight.
Matthew
