Sunday 5th December
Well things improved dramatically yesterday as the
winds picked up we managed a run of 120nm the best we have done for a few
days. Also the ARC emailed us a weather briefing which indicates the
trades are finally coming, should be in position by today, strengthening over
the next few days. Boats further west of us should already be experiencing
the stronger winds and on a more stable course to St Lucia, we will arrive
eventually, Chris described our route as the 'wiggly line route' not to be
confused with the rhumb line route and certainly not the trade wind
route!
We are managing to keep sane in this heat by
enjoying the dolphin and flying fish activity and a lot of reading is being done by the not too hard pressed crew!
