Swan Valhalla - Log 22 - Our last full day!



We have been having consistent weather for the past 24 hours with the wind coming from a North-easterly direction at about 18-20 knots. This is great news as we are hopefully going to make our target arrival in St Lucia at about 10am local time tomorrow morning (Saturday). Our bearing was not quite on target so we jibed this morning to head 260 degrees. Unfortunately when we jibed there was a tear in the leech so we had to put in a second reefing line to save the rip from getting worse. We have also hoisted the mizzen in order to keep our speed up. By mid afternoon the sun was getting a little hot so Sam and Carl managed to rig the awning so there was some welcome shade in the cockpit. With 122 miles to go we are slowly counting down the hours to our imminent arrival. We will be having our last delicious supper tonight cooked by Yoyo and raising a glass of fizz to our amazing adventure on Valhalla!
