Vagaris - Nearly finished



We've less than 130 miles to go now and due to low winds have decided to motor the last few miles.

The wind has dropped to less than 10 knots, so instead of taking 3 days to slowly sail the last couple of hundred miles we decided to motor in order to arrive late Sunday night so we can start enjoying the rum punches and celebrations.

Kath and Steve leave on Thursday, so if we can make it in by late Sunday, that'll give them a few days r&r in St Lucia before they have to head back to cold Blighty.
