Aretha - Almost there



Another night spent dodging squalls and gybing. Plenty of rain showers too.

The finish line in sight now. Currently at 14 27 North, 57 22 West.

Strange feeling on board now as this close knit team are now heading in their separate directions. We have much to plan for the next stage of our voyage and have to get Aretha safe, fully cleaned and shipshape for the next stages of our journey across to Panama and beyond. Jani and Paul have their lives in England planned and are leaving us the day after arrival to enjoy a well earned break at Sandals.

It will be great to arrive in St Lucia and we’re very much looking forward to a Rum Punch, swapping stories with friends and the week or so of events that the ARC organisers have planned. The awards ceremony is on 20th December - we’ll head South shortly after that or as soon as we have the boat in good order. We have plenty to explore and have Columbus birthday and Christmas to look forward to. Christmas will be very different this year!

213 miles to go.

Over and out from Team Aretha.
