Yesterday went well - we flew the chute for most of the day until the wind came south and we switched to genoa. By around 1600 though the wind was falling away to nothing and we've motored overnight in glassy calm seas.
We've enough fuel to motor to St Lucia (315 miles to go!) but that would be a bit tedious so hopefully we'll get some more wind at some stage. We've got 0.6 kts of favourable current so have throttled right back to make sure we have the range; even so our speed over the ground is 6.4 kts which means we get to arrive in St Lucia on Saturday afternoon in time for the jazz night.
Overnight was very pleasant - nearly a full moon and dolphins playing under the bow (well they did on my watch). Dawn was the most spectacular sunrise so far although I'm sure our camera did not do it justice.
On the domestic front Rach did a lot of washing yesterday so we should be good for when we arrive in St Lucia. We're almost out of fresh provisions which have generally lasted well - had to resort to tinned asparagus last night which had a mixed reception amongst the crew.
All well on board - anticipating rum punches soon!
