Nearing the finish line

As we near the finish line, we are asking the crew their hopes and dreams for St Lucia, their potential nostalgia for the journey and any gripes that they will be pleased to leave behind.

What are you most looking forward to in St Lucia?

Claire: Most looking forward to seeing Momo, Nono and Mum.
Pete: Seeing the baby. Getting away from Claire. Eating ice cream.
Richard: Being able to relax.
Alice: Stretching my legs, swimming and chatting to Tim.
Caroline: seeing Charlotte, Mike and Toby.
Adrian: being on a stable platform, a non-moving platform.

What will you miss about being on the boat?

Claire: The moon rises, I really like the moon rises.
Pete: The ambience.
Richard: The sea and the sky.
Alice: Orion's belt and Sirius.
Caroline: The camaraderie.
Adrian: The astro navigation.

What will you not miss about being on the boat

Richard: Rocking. To be able to walk around and lie in my own bed without being constantly concerned about the possibility of being thrown out.
Claire: I'm not going to miss shift sleeping.
Pete: Rocking.
Alice: The rocking and rolling and lack of sleep.
Caroline: Rolling and the sleeplessness.
Adrian: The head [toilet].
