Aurelia - Day 17



Hello from Aurelia



We are now in the home straight. We are 150 km off Barbados and only 220km from St Lucia - a walk in the park!



It wouldn't be a normal day on board without a drama or two and today is no different. We have a slight problem with our rudder and thanks to a GoPro camera we have been able to verify that there is something wrapped around it. Although we are not moving that fast due to wind the swell is too big for one of us to dive under nd clear whilst moving so we are keeping our fingers crossed until we reach St Lucia.



Ralph has developed sailor's bottom (don't ask) apparently quite a common complaint from transatlantic yachtsmen. I will take his word for that.



Pasta again for dinner tonight. I think we will all be avoiding Italian restaurants for a while.



Tomorrow will be our last blog before we arrive so be sure to check in
