We
Made It! After 17 days, 11 hours, 58 mins and 2 seconds we crossed the
finishing line in Rodney Bay, sadly under engine as there was still no
wind. (We really felt for poor Nostra Vida who lost her propeller a
few days ago.) After a modest(!) celebration there was the
luxury of a whole night's sleep. We awoke to a severe
downpour, not at all like the pictures in the glossy tourist brochures
we've been given!
We now face a day of
cleaning every nook and cranny on the boat and a long stint in the
laundrette.
A few reflections on the
passage will be posted as soon as we possibly can. Cochise arrived an hour
or so after us, and is berthed opposite us. We don't know how long she
motored for - we suspect less than us so we'll have to have a return
match!
Thanks to all of you who
have followed us on our blog and on the yellowbrick tracker - it was great to
receive messages of support in the middle of the ocean.
