On the downhill stretch now, 1350 miles to
go. A good Force 5 wind is blowing from the SE helping along our way on a
broad reach heading SW toward St Lucia. We are managing the average 8 knots boat
speed upon which our passage plan is based and that keeps spirits up. We have
been very lucky with the wind and we're getting by OK without the Genoa. It's
still too blowy for the parasail but I'm sure we'll pluck up the courage to fly
the beastie before voyage's end.
A quiet night - we all slept much better and the
seas are less confused and lumpy than we have known them. We're trying not to
think too much of arriving just yet but we can't help but notice that Immy
spent much of yesterday drawing pictures of land..!
