Graham wants me to tell you that it is blooming hot today. The temperature is 33 degrees down below here in Annie. And guess what? There is no wind. Luckily, as you know, we actually got the engine going yesterday so we are not going to turn it off again - just in case.
We are about 85 miles away now and suddenly we are feeling rather sad to be finishing. Last night we had a magnificent sky and Peter and I saw many shooting stars between us. His best one was big and green and he swears it made a hissing noise. How he could hear that above the engine I have no idea! My best one had a tail like a comet.
What more can I say. This will be our last blog (unless something untoward happens) and I just want to say how much I have enjoyed blogging and hearing back from those of you who have been kind enough to email us. Annie has been a great little ship to sail in and Graham a wonderful and most understanding skipper (re incapacity due to injury) and hasn't complained once about not having as much help as he might have expected.Not only that but he's been very tolerant of the references to him in my blogs (sorry Graham).
So bye bye for now. Think of us in St Lucia drinking rum cocktails while you're all freezing won't you! Honestly, we have had to suffer for this treat, please believe me! (no not really!)
Cheerio
