What a quiet day. There has been virtually no wind since yesterday though we did get the sails up for a few hours overnight and even managed to reach the heady speeds of 5 knots, for all of 5 minutes. Today has been spent looking at a flat calm ocean whilst the engine is faithfully carrying us towards our Caribbean Island. It is so flat that if you put a few ducks out there it would be more like a village pond than a massive ocean.
I think we are all getting bored of eating on the boat and whilst we still are very well provisioned (Dad and Ann could sail for the next year I think without having to buy any tinned/dried goods!) we are all missing fresh food. Personally I am starting to dream of green salad, prawns, cold beer and icecream though the rum punch you reputedly are served on arrival (anytime day or night) wouldn't go amiss either!
So all being well we will arrive early hours of Monday morning (provided we find some wind to carry us in the next 48 hours) then it will be rum, cold beers and walking on solid ground, can't wait!!!!
