Ostrea - its a rainy day!

Hi all there,
It has been a rainy day the last 24 hours but now the sun is shining. We had to go right through a trough last night. There were lots of squalls but we were able to avoid the most of it by diving under the 16N line. We are now on a rhumbline to st lucia and not going to deviate anymore. We are still sailing 7 knots but listening to other boats ahead it looks like the wind will drop a bit more for 24 hours. Afterwards the trades are expected to return so we will have a good sail to st lucia.
we keep you posted!
