Firefly - All set for the start of the World Arc



After a great trip down the Eastern Caribbean over Christmas and New Year, we have now been in Rodney Bay Marina, Saint Lucia for 4 days. We have benefited from a number of good briefings from the rally organizers World Cruising .Firefly has been checked over thoroughly by us and the WC team so we are almost ready to go. Over a rum punch or two we have met many of our fellow participants who come from 15 countries . Firefly is fully laden with food and Susie has been making flapjacks!

The start of our adventure is at 12.00 local time tomorrow when we say farewell to Jane on the dock and Firefly heads West across the Caribbean to the remote (and reportedly beautiful)San Blas islands part of Panama. This should take us around 6 days and after leisurely cruising the islands we will head for the Panama Canal at the end of the month.

From tomorrow we will resume our daily logs and yellow brick tracks, you will also be able see our progress against other yachts on a fleet viewer on the World Arc website(left hand side of the page)

We hope you enjoy our reports

Love from Paul, Susie, Jane, Peter and Grateful (excited about the forthcoming flora and fauna)
