Shalan - Day 17 - We've arrived in St. Lucia!!!



14:04N 60:57W

So we made it!!!! We crossed the finish line in Rodney Bay at 17:26 local time on the 7th December. It took us 17 days, 8 hours, and 26 minutes to cover 3406 miles from Las Palmas to St. Lucia. What a fantastic trip we've had full of laughs and giggles all the way, with a few hairy moments at times to keep us on our toes. We've had  halyards and lines breaking, sails dumped in the water in squalls, ropes around  the prop so by no means was it 'plain sailing'. The whole trip was a real joy to be on with new experiences and memories made that will last a lifetime, especially catching 'The Beast', the story of which will be passed from generation to generation!

We're now all tied up in Rodney Bay Marina and more and more boats are arriving by the hour. Needless to say we celebrated last night by hitting the bars and catching up with friends we'd made in Las Palmas. Due to the repercussions of last night, we are all feeling very delicate today, so we're going to keep this final blog short and sweet until our next adventure, sign off with a team photo, and say thank you for taking the time to read our blog. We hope you have enjoyed reading it as much as we have enjoyed writing it.

Until the next adventure

Love from Team Shalan
