Next Step - Thursday 12th December 2019

The night was a bit of a roller coaster with squalls, rain and wind coming from all directions. But by morning we seemed to be on the right track again which hopefully means we will be in St Lucia before the end of the day. Nicole's hands are much improved but she will probably not be steering again today. For most of the day Jeremy, David and I took turns helming for two hours each, we will continue this until we get into St Lucia. Nicole made us a great lunch of egg muffins with potato salad and pickled beetroot etc. it was really good and should last us through to the evening. The miles are gradually ticking down and it looks like we will get in sometime during the middle of the night.
After an exciting fast sail for the last few miles we eventually got into Rodney Bay, St. Lucia at 2330 local time…yippee we have successfully completed the first stage of our ARC adventure, next the World..!
Until the next time
