Degree of Latitude - Day 16 - Almost There!

Hello All,

So we are down to the final few miles (relatively speaking anyway), right now we have just over 240 miles to run, so at current boat speed we should hopefully be in Rodney Bay in around 36 hours. As you might imagine, we are watching the wind and boat speed like a hawk, noting every increase (or decrease) and trying to calculate what impact it might have on our arrival time!

On the domestic front, we finally had to get rid of the remaining leek and also half a dozen beetroot, so an impromtu game of deck rounders was required - all went well, however we are still finding bits of leek on the boat 24 hours later...

Since dining has formed such a key element of this passage, Sunday evening required the appropriate meal, so the crew worked together and we produced a full Sunday roasted leg of lamb with all the accompliments (obviously preceeded by Gin & Tonics as we watched another fantastic tropical sunset) - this level of catering is going to quite hard to live up to once we get back onto dry land!

The tropical weather has really kicked in now, its decided warm on the boat, with really nowhere to escape from the heat during the day - night watches as now a blessing as its pleasantly cool sat outside in the gentle breezes as you watch the stars overhead.

No pictures today I'm afraid, but we will follow up and push them all up and share on Facebook etc, once we get into Rodney Bay.

We are still opening the daily cards - they have been a real encouragement and a great link back to everyone at home, thanks once again!

Best Wishes to all, and look forward to catching up with you all soon!

John, Mark, Tony & Katy.
