Skyelark of London - Three quarters



With another night of fine sailing behind us I came on watch with good 22
knot winds at 06h00 this morning. The sea settled down nicely during the day
and we are now flying along poled out in true ARC downwind sailing
tradition. A lovely sunrise greeted us this morning with no clouds or rain
and that stayed for the day and will hopefully last all night as well.
Remaining nautical mileage to St Lucia now stands at 690m of the 3100m our
route is working out to be, so well over three quarters done. We are all
getting quite excited about the prospect of arriving in St Lucia over the
weekend and enjoying some rum punch, ice cold beer and whatever else the
place offers.

Sundowners tonight entailed a taste of Norwegian Aquavit that has been aged
while travelling around the world in casks. Very nice accompanied by curried
herring. We also revealed crew estimates of our arrival time in St Lucia.
These estimates were made about 10 days ago and sealed in an envelope which
was opened today.

On the 13th we have the optimists, Erico at 03h00, Peter at 12h13 and Bob at
21h00.
On the 14th we have the realists, Loftus at 03h14, Dan at 04h00, Emily at
16h00 and Kit at 21h07.
On the 15th we have the pessimists, Wiggo at 09h50 and Melindie at 10h00.
Anyway let us know what you think based on current forecasts.

Good night, Loftus.
