885 miles to go and what a difference a day makes.
Yesterday was tough, muggy, big seas, not fun......but today is a different sort
of day - we have unleashed the Blue Beastie. Our parasailor is flying in 10
knots of wind and we're getting 8 knots of boat speed, and almost in the right
direction to St Lucia!
And the icing on the cake of this fab day at sea is
the Whale that surfaced several times at our stern. We didn't have the trigger
finger to get a photo but we all saw this fine looking creature. We had a crew
review of the Whale book and decided that our whale is a Minke
whale; arched back, hooked dorsal fin, poiny face and a big
smile.
