Incisor - Incisor daily blog 12-12-2013



Only 29 miles to go!!

It’s all getting very exciting, we still can’t see Martinique yet as it is cloudy and squally today but in the next couple of miles we should start seeing the outline. Since we have hit 60 miles we have been imagining the rest of the race as a round the island race, at the moment we think we are at St. Catharine’s point quickly heading for Bembridge Ledge! It would be nice if all round the Island races were this sunny all the way round! We are still going along with just a main up as we are going dead downwind with up to 25knts and making a steady 12knts towards St. Lucia. When we get to our waypoint which is at the northern tip we will reach down into Rodney bay and head for the finish line.

We apologise for not writing a blog yesterday but conditions were difficult and we were all exhausted at the end of the day so there was no time for blogging. We all had to dig deep but we got there in the end.

This will be our last blog as in a few hours we will get mobile phone coverage and I’m sure there will be lots of phone calls home. It’s been a fantastic adventure for everyone and the best bit about it is we are all talking to each other  and we will end up in the Caribbean drinking rum punches together. I’m sure we will remain firm friends long after our voyage has ended and we definitely all look forward to sailing together again. Before we sign off, a special thanks to Mark (Derek’s Son) for weather routing us. It’s been a great comfort knowing someone else is keeping an eye on the weather for us. And what’s best is we have had no upwind sailing!!

Until next year, from all of us on the mighty Incisor!
