Towards St Lucia

Now 10:00 am on board - clocks to go back again at 60'W. Nav system says under 11 hours to go. Weather is not going out with a whimper. We have full main and number 3 jib goose-winged on the pole, and just had a 35 knot squall. Leap to the wheel time, because the autohelm may not cope.

We ran the new Crusader cruising chute yesterday - turns out it is pocket-handkerchief size, and would be just the job for a 40 footer. But we can use it for the higher winds and for reaching.

Please start pouring the beers!
