We are now less than 100 miles from St. Lucia and plan
to arrive sometime tomorrow morning after sunrise. The weather is
truly Caribbean, warm and sunny with a
nice breeze taking us straight in
to Rodney Bay where our welcome Rum Punches are already being chilled. The
Captain already gave us a pre-arrival briefing for
the procedures and tasks upon
arrival after crossing the finish line. With less than 24 hours left to go, we
are all very excited, but at the same time a little regretful that
this amazing 18-day passage across the big blue
Atlantic is about to be completed. Nonetheless, we are certainly
looking forward to the arrival party and other
celebrations awaiting us
onshore. Needless to say, that a ice-cold beer (or two),
a cool long shower, a nice clean shave and a stationary bed will be
among our most
immediate priorities.
Today, we decided to relax and fully enjoy the last day at
sea, soaking in he Caribbean sun. Breathing the mist of the sea spray,
we absorb the natural beauty of
the ocean and the peace and
tranquility it brings. Tomorrow, we will already be back in civilization
and in that "other world". Sunrise today brought with it the best
catch of our journey - a one meter
long Dorado! The chef prepared our last Sashimi and gourmet lunch for this trip
and plans to bake some filet fish for dinner, a
"farewell to the sea" feast.
The next report will already be from St. Lucia with
pictures of our arrival and the 4 boys in a boat happy, on land with Rum Punches
in hand.
 
BOBBIE AND MOSES WITH THE BIG
ONE!
THE LAST SASHIMI ON THIS TRIP...
