Jade - Woohoo - Jade is in St Lucia!!



Woohoo. We did it! Good old Jade and crew are safely tucked up in Rodney Bay, St Lucia. We took 26 days in total and it feels like a very big achievement. We arrived in the middle of the night but were greeted by the ARC's Joel and Alvaro and Brandon and Boden from Rodney Bay marina. They guys stood with us for about an hour listening to us saying repeatedly 'I can't believe we are here.. I can't believe we are here.' The rum punches Brandon doled out tasted mighty fine. Noah and Ferne (our resident super stars) woke up mid celebrations and guess what they said? Yup 'I can't believe we're here'. They had a punch without the rum and we said they could have the pineapple that Brandon gave us (he gave us a fruit basket with another bottle of rum in it too!)

The journey was good but it was long and for many days we really didn't see anything at all. Not even a bird. So today when we got up - after about 2 hours sleep - it was surreal to see people wandering by. We've seen many of the family boat friends we made in Gran Canaria and it's so nice to see them all well and safe and on land!

Alex and the guys did a fantastic job of keeping us all safe and happy. Thank you boys. 

Also, many thanks to everyone who posted messages and thought of us as we traveled - we could feel your well wishes.
We're now looking forward to kicking back and making the most of the sunshine. It's St Lucian Christmas here we come. 
Lots of Christmas love to you all.
