Skyelark 2 - 1/3rd down



1/3 of the way home
D4+D5
It is now 1pm on Friday and we are now a full 5 days in... the wind has
dropped into the low teens but we are still aiming for a 15 day crossing.
The sea is calm and spirits are high, we have not seen any rain.

To our great surprise we find our selves at the front of our class running
neck-to-neck with a dutch boat W.K with about 1900nm to go anything could
happen but we are very pleased with progress so far. Skyelark 2 is a great
boat, perfect for this sort of crossing and we are in great shape.

Amazing gastronomic delights continue to emerge from the galley aided the
keen fishermen amongst the crew. In the last 36hrs we have landed 5, lost 2
and returned 1. Friday: we caught another 2 Dorado before 10am. It looks
like we have ample provisions with many more delights yet to come.

The excitement towards our arrival in Saint Lucia is building... whilst we
cannot declre ourselves an ‘all Saint Lucian Crew’ we are close... we are 2
Saint Lucians, 4 second home owners and 2 regular visitors.

With 5 days under our belt the tranquility of life at sea is awesome!
