Ahoy there, Boatbloggers.
Without too much ado, here are some photos of the voyage.
Now I know going through someone else’s holiday snaps is the most boring thing in the world, which is why we’ve cut them down to just 423.
ABOUT TO LEAVE
ALL THE FRUIT ETC GOES IN HAMMOCKS TO STOP IT BRUISING
THE START LINE (VIEWED FROM THE BACK)
IT WAS STRONG WINDS AND QUITE BIG SEAS FOR THE FIRST WEEK
ROCKIN’ & ROLLIN’ (Thanks to Melike & Nejat on “North,” for these two pictures)
SO IT WAS A BUMPY START
DAWN
WE SAW A LOT OF THIS…
AND WE WERE NEVER HORIZONTAL
WHEN A SQUALL HIT, YOU KNEW ABOUT IT
BUT WE SAILED THROUGH A RAINBOW!
TWICE!
RED SKY AT NIGHT…
PIRATES!
ARTY FARTY SHOT OF THE MOON
BUT IT’S NOT ALL GLAMOUR – SWABBING THE DECKS.
DOING THE LAUNDRY
OCCASIONALLY WE WERE BECALMED…
BUT NOT FOR LONG.
WE WERE “GOOSEWINGED,” (A SAIL OUT EACH SIDE) FOR MUCH OF THE TIME
THE CREW HARD AT WORK
HOME MADE LEMONADE!
WE DID GET THE CRUISING CHUTE UP. BRIEFLY.
SUNSET
BABY FLYING FISH – DECEASED
LAND AHOY!
GRATUITOUS SELFIE WITH ST LUCIA IN THE BACKGROUND
NEARLY THERE…
LYN HELMING US ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
ARRIVING AT RODNEY BAY
A GREAT WELCOME
DRY LAND
BANANA BOAT
That’s all folks!
The big question now is….what next?
Watch this space…
And we’d like to wish all our Boatblog fans a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Ju & Lyn

I am so enjoying reading your blog, and sharing your pictures of your nautical adventures! You certainly look like you are having the most awesome time. Merry Christmas to you both! Best wishes. Lisa and John.
These are great. I’ve only just seen them. I don’t know why. Definitely my fault I’m sure.
