Mustique - Mustique.Arc.10thDec13

592.7 Nautical Miles to St Lucia!!

Finally the trade winds have kicked in and we sailing 8-9knots broad
reaching, Mustique purring with delight. Spent much of last night squall
running- 60deg wind shifts, rain & 30knot gusts made it the most interesting
& fun night watch of the trip.

Now only 4 days to St Lucia and we can almost smell the rum punch, coconut
water & hear the beat of the steel pan...yeah man!!

We have conceded defeat to the Atlantic monster fish as we lost our 3rd
squidy lure yesterday... the reel clicked for a second, I rushed to grab the
rod and then the battle commenced. the reel ran out at such an amazing
speed, steam rising out the reel as 300metres of line disappeared in a few
seconds, the rod bent to boomerang dimensions and bang, he as gone, the fish
won. Chicken curry for dinner tonight!

Spirits remain high, and we sail on into the sunset.
