The locals

Whilst at sea it is common to encounter a bit of wildlife and bump into the locals but what we saw a few days back is something else that we first noticed as it swam 10 foot from our starboard beam. There were pictures taken but no chance to get any video footage. 2 days later and I had invented a crude way to use the GoPro underwater when the perfect opportunity arose to try it out. I'm fairly sure after talking to people and friends on the pontoons in st lucia that no one else has got anything as rare as this to show

In st lucia hungover


We are now in Rodney bay, st lucia after a very eventful and fast crossing. We arrived in less than 14 days after rocketing across the Atlantic.  We have encountered squalls, huge frontal depressions, no wind, big seas, choppy seas, a massive wave over the transom flooding the cockpit, broken sails, broken generator, broken electronics but now all back and working beautifully. We have caught tuna and dorado, seen lots of dolphins and some whales too, had a midway swim and an excellent trip that the boat has given us and looked after us fantastically. Until next time I'll let my video do the business
