Vagaris - Dark Arrival



We arrived in Rodney Bay marina, St Lucia last night at 1943 local time after 20 days and 3050 miles at sea.

We sailed across the finish line, received the congratulatory message from ARC control, dropped the sailed and prepare to enter the marina.

It was very dark as we edged slowly into the cutout channel that leads to the lagoon where the marina is situated. We were met by a crowd of friends and well wishers cheering and congratulating us. Boats blew their whistles and horns to mark our arrival.

In the dark and unfamiliar marina we moored with the help of ARC staff (yellow shirts) and stepped onto dry land for the first time for a long time.

Champagne came out, Rum punches were delivered and stories were exchanged. Still bewildered, we then headed to one of the marina bars for another lethal Rum punch and after a couple of hours collapsed into a stationary and quiet bed.
