Not a bad run yesterday, managed 160 miles, which, considering at noon
today we had only 167 miles to go to the waypoint N of St Lucia, makes us nearly
there! Woo Hoo! Should get there early afternoon tomorrow, or late
morning local time, –4 hours.
Today is a real scorcher, we had to rig up a tarp in the cockpit for
shade. Also decent winds, about 20 knots from directly behind. We
have had enough of all the rolling, so looking forward to an undisturbed night
tied up in the marina. We are currently running with about 4 or 5 other
boats, they keep disappearing from the AIS, but we all sang happy birthday over
the VHF to Alan from Opus 1 who is 79 today. So we’re not the oldest crew
in the ARC.
We’re nearly out of everything, so looking forward to all the fresh local
produce like beer and rum. Maybe some food also?
This could be the last gripping episode of the Fish Pie blog, so thanks for
tuning in, and see you soon.
