Easy Rider - ..Captains Log.....Day 1 Cape Verde to St. Lucia



Great first day for our third east to west Atlantic crossing!

After running around like headless chickens all morning, making ready with the final preparations, it was a real pleasure to slip our lines & motor out into the bay for the start of the 2,150 nautical mile race to St. Lucia. The weather for the start was perfect, with 15 - 20 knots of breeze helping all the yachts make a flying start. The Cats start first & it is a spectacular sight looking back at the fleet of 52 yachts all with full sail, strung out behind us.

As the afternoon wore on the wind eased & members of the Easy crew took the oportunity to relax & top up there tans ( even further) on the trampolines!

We rounded off our day with a fantastic dinner of seared tuna washed down with a lovely bottle of vino verde.
