The countdown continues and as we write Antigua is
less than 650nm away after a 176 days run. Some folk are fantasizing about rum
punch and pina colada but we celebrated with lemon fanta and the last of the
bournville after a delicious salad nicoise - the skipper made a mean brown
dressing to go over the salad and the lettuce and tomatoes are still in very
good shape
The swell is much less now and we are still running
well on the other gybe. It does mean we all get much better sleeps and can
enjoy the fabulous warm weather with plenty of sun cream required by day.
We still await the third unlucky fish to compliment the two in the freezer for
our last fishy meal before we see land again. Last night we had plenty to
see with ARC boats going south for St.Lucia. Clearview II passed less then
a mile below us at 0230 and Emilija passed well ahead. A larger boat
Margrathera was astern but she seemed to be slow for her 72 foot and we wondered
if she was fishing.
So we are all in good spirits and honestly
worry about you all on 4th.December in sunny Scotland - or is it snowy
now?
