Ximera - Day twenty - Gimme one more (last) hour




14∞01.02N - 53∞43.13W --> 14∞27.84N - 56∞51.11W

Today we are in the Caribbean time zone (UTC -4) and we put our watches back another hour.

The wind, the waves and the current consistently push our boat towards our destination. We're approaching fast, we're sailing fast, 8-9 knots with two reefs in the main sail, sometimes a bit of jib furled.

At 8 o'clock in the morning 363 miles divide us from St. Lucia.

Apparently (and luckily) I'll win the forecast sweepstake for arrival date and hour (Sunday 11th December at noon) that we all have declared when we were leaving the Cape Verde islands. At 0.00 of the 10 december only 248 miles from St. Lucia. We are really close now. Wow!

A strange land-feeling is all over the boat...
