225 miles to go at noon on Wednesday and at 6
to 7 knots we reckon to be at Rodney Bay between 5pm and midnight tomorrow. 25
knots of wind and occasional showers/squalls........got a good soaking this
morning so saving on the shower.
Some fruit and veg left which we have to eat or
dump befor e we get to St Lucia as we can't land it there. Fishing in abeyance
as we're rocking and roling under headsail only and we don't want to risk
fishing to close to the islands........there is a toxin problem !
Ger and Michelle llooking forward to long hot
showers which don't rock about,fellas looking forward to beers at the bar. A
nights sleep when the bed didn't keep moving all over theplace won't go amiss
either.
Tonight we should see the light loom of Barbados
after midnight .....we pass 50 miles north........and should start to see other
ARC yachts converging on St Lucia. Surprisingly we haven't seen any for about
five days. Could get congested as we all aim for the channel between St L and
Martinique along with the odd cruise ship no doubt.
All ingood heart as the end is in sight ,especially
to the constant rolling of Simanderal.
