Swan Valhalla - Log 19 - And now..the end is near!



Another night of winds gusting up to 20 knots - some of the crew could not handle this and unfortunately were seasick! However, morale was back up today with the sun out and the wind shifted so it is now pretty much behind us, coming from the north east. We have goose-winged the genoa and have an average speed of about 8 knots and we are surfing the waves. The last couple of days we have managed 180 miles in 24 hours which is pretty good going! We had a real Life of Pi moment when we found a flying fish had landed itself on board. Before it got thrown back into the sea, Skipper Sam had a photograph of it in his mouth - much to the hilarity of the rest of the crew. 

Bets have been written down for an estimation of our arrival by all the crew - ranging from Friday to Sunday. Skipper Sam thinks that we will be in St Lucia 
for Saturday evening/night - the end is in sight!
