Title: The final leg

position 14:04.6N 060:56.9W

So, at last we have arrived.....25,000 miles later!

The final leg from Marigot Bay to Rodney Bay was completed in about 2 hours and we sailed briefly into Castries to make a spectacle for the locals.

It was all very exciting with lots of horns blowing, flares set off and a welcome at the dock with a Steel band and Rum punch.

In the evening all the circumnavigators were presented with a trophy and a certificate.

What do we do now????
