Morning All
So we are still floating around the
Atlantic although we now have the pain of actually being able to see St
Lucia but it would appear that someone somewhere doesn't want us to actually
step foot on it, maybe they have heard about our drinking habits!
It has
been slow going again over the last 24 hours and we now find ourselves a
mere 22 miles from St Lucia.
To put that in perspective when we usually go
out for a days racing in Cowes Week our course is usually in the vicinity of
25 miles and it is covered in around 4 hours and you can expect to be in the
beer tent by late afternoon.
At our current speed and going on our latest
weather forecast we can expect to be floating around looking at St Lucia for
at least another 12 hours, which brings us to the title of today's blog,
Character Building!!!
The watch system is almost out of the window now as it
does not require more than one person on deck to make sure Ray (our
autopilot) keeps drifting in the right direction. We are using it as an
excuse to get some good sleep so that we are well rested for our arrival
upon which we are ready for a busy schedule of exploring the local
sights!!!!
We sincerely hope that this is our last blog, not that it has not
been fun writing them but we feel that we are ready for landfall. We hope
you have enjoyed reading them and would like to thank everyone who has sent
in messages of support over the past two and a half weeks it has kept us
going through the ups and downs.
It has certainly been a trip to remember
and we have enjoyed the company of our new Russian friends and would like to
congratulate them on the great achievement of sailing across the Atlantic
and we hope that it has inspired them to continue sailing when they get
home.
Hopefully for that last time, that is all from the good truck
Lancelot we hope you are all well and have a Merry Christmas and happy New
Year (p.s. please send us some cake if we're still out here!)
Take
Care
Lancelot.
