We are moving again, steadily, and in the right direction. Yesterday was very disappointing with 116nm clocked 06:00 to 06:00GMT. Its been a very painfull 30hrs and our 'hole' has hurt our position in the fleet badly. This is the first time in a week we have logged less than 150nm in 24hrs. We are 278nm out from the northern tip of St Lucia as I write. Hopefully the winds will stay steady as per the forecast today. I think I mentioned we have a sweep on the date and time we each think we will get in. The winner will get to visit the bar and ply the rest of the crew with drinks so no getting rich on the proceeds, just a bit of fun, -in any event its Mike D's birthday on the 14th so we would like to be able to celebrate in a bar in St Lucia rather than on the dry boat!
Pos 13 41N 056 10W.

Hoping this time tomorrow to have a clearer handle on a likely ETA.
As ever, thanks for all the encouragement. We've needed it badly over the past few days but now we are moving again we'll see what we can do.
