We crossed the finish line at 0508 hrs on thursday
morning. But that was only the start of a long day of celebrations ending
up on the beach with steel bands in the early hours of friday
morning.!
We motored the last 8 hours or so as the wind had
almost completely died. A number of pictures were taken as we finished and I hope to be able to post them on
here in a day or two. The results will be published tomorrow, Saturday, at
the prizegiving, I may or I may not do a blog then!
Thank you very much for all the support from
those following us and especially to my crew. Top crew indeed and nobody
killed anybody, quite good after nearly four weeks on a small boat bobbing about
with the same scenery every day.
Well, it was quite an experience and there is great
fun to the debriefs with other crews. The boat performed very well
although we do have some repairs to do now. The spinnaker track,
the spray hood, the navigation lights and the autohelm being the main
issues to deal with. After about 5500 miles I suppose that is
not bad.
So where to next! Who knows? Thousand
Knights will sit on our dock here in Rodney Harbour for the next while and
hopefully we will get to do some cruising around the islands.
Thank you again to everyone who supported our
endeavour and particularly to Jenny, Jane, Sue and Suzanne for supporting their
boys with their toys.
