After 2 nights of overcast skies, last night the stars and moon came out to greet us. We had light winds E 5-10 kts, making for a comfortable beam reach. The lightening show off the port bow got Steve's attention and he carefully stashed his hand held GPS in the microwave as a precaution, for safe keeping. We are getting close to our destination. Initial estimates had us arriving tonight, but we made good time last night and the estimates have been revised. We should be arriving while it's still light… yeah!!!!
By 1100 it was land ho! Signs of the approaching land abound. The water has turned a faint shade of turquoise. Birds soar by as butterflies flutter in the cockpit. Periodically lobster pots dot the water so I'm glad we're approaching in daylight to better be able to spot them. We passed the palms of Anegada low on the horizon and multiple islands are clearly visible ahead. Excitement is building as we head for the finish line.
