It's Tuesday, late afternoon and we have 438nm left
to go, hopefully we should reach St Lucia Friday afternoon as we are averaging
135-150nm a day. The sloppiness of the sea is leaving us all feeling like
we're in a bubble, unable to do much of anything before we are left drained of
all energy and have to have a lie down. I think it's fair to say that we
are all pretty keen to get there now, Duncan because he wants an undisturbed
nights sleep, John because he wants to feel the ground beneath his feet and me
because I think I'm going slightly mad and keep thinking about diving into the
sea to shake this mugginess off.
We've had more flying fish landing on the decks and
one flew perilously close to John last night, hitting the back of the solar
panel that was only inches from his face. We laugh when it
happens but at the speed they travel, one could seriously have your
eye out!
