SailBlog - Land almost within sight

Graham
17/12/2008, North Atlantic

We are almost there! With 88 Nm to go, everyone is desperately looking for our landfall, although I think we may have a few hours to go yet. Our arrival time looks to be in the early hours of tomorrow morning, or midnight Saint Lucia time (GMT-4 hours). Everyone is really looking forward to setting foot on land for the first time in 25 days, and no doubt there will be a few hours of land sickness which normally hits us after some time at sea. Still, nothing a few glasses of local rum will not resolve I suspect! Bongo is contemplating what he will cook for our final night at sea. One thing is for certain though, it won't be fresh fish until the fishing line is untangled from the Rutland wind generator blades..... Well, this may be our last blog entry from sea, all being well, so we hope you all enjoyed the read over the past 25 days or so, and look out to see what we are up to in Saint Lucia. And....thanks for all of your comments on the blog; once we get to an internet cafe in Saint Lucia, we will be able to sit down and read them all for some good entertainment I suspect! Bye for now.
