885 miles to go and what a difference a day makes. Yesterday was tough, muggy, big seas, not fun......but today is a different sort of day - we have unleashed the Blue Beastie. Our parasailor is flying in 10 knots of wind and we're getting 8 knots of boat speed, and almost in the right direction to St Lucia!
 
And the icing on the cake of this fab day at sea is the Whale that surfaced several times at our stern. We didn't have the trigger finger to get a photo but we all saw this fine looking creature. We had a crew review of the Whale book and decided that our whale is a Minke whale; arched back, hooked dorsal fin, poiny face and a big smile.
