Skyelark of London - counting down the miles



Its 18.00hrs on Thursday the 12th of December and we have 300 miles to
go!!!

We have good winds of between 20 and 30knts from the East and are making
excellent progress under a poled out head sail. Current projections have us
arriving in St Lucia early afternoon on Saturday and considerable excited
debate has already commenced about how good the first cold beer will
taste!!!

Last night saw the occasional squall having to be managed by furling the
head sail but overall a comfortable night was had sailing with 3 reefs in
the main and a partly furled and poled out head sail. Between the squalls we
were once again treated to another wonderful star light night with the most
amazing shooting stars some of which were so bright they looked like white
flares falling through the sky to earth.

Going on deck now for a cup of tea and to watch yet another magical sunset and dream about that first cold beer!

Good evening and very best wishes from all aboard a happy Skyelark.

Bob
