Widago - St. Lucia Leg (?): Closing In



Just checking in......we are abut 220 miles from land. Bright warm sunny day today. Winds are at our back, and swells rolling through. Been eating lots of yummy tuna from our catch on Friday. Boys have been crushing their schoolwork, and being all around good boys. Ahab and I are holding up well, taking turns napping, and watching the miles count down.

We had radio contact this morning from a solo sailor (not with our group) who is sailing from Canary Islands to St. Lucia. His autopilot has broken don twice, and we were the first boat he has talked to days, maybe weeks. I cannot even imagine how exhausted that must be.

Looks like we get in sometime late tomorrow night, probably after dinner but before midnight. Looking forward to the Yellowshirt ready to greet us at the docks, catch our lines, and hand us a rum goody. Then......sleep for more than 3 hours and 45 minutes at a time. Bliss.
