Well folks, we’ve done it! We crossed the Atlantic in 16 days 3 hours arriving yesterday in Falmouth Harbour, Antigua. We’ve sailed 2110 miles across that ocean with two wee tots and a lot of wind and some pretty big seas! At least we were fast. We are understandably exhausted but very happy (and a bit stunned) to have made our dream, real. What now? Rest, beer, rest and then sometime soon some work. I’ll post the epic to end all epics in due course. Sending lots of love. Xxxx

Wwwwhhhhhooooooopppppieiiieeee !!!!!!!:::)))))) you are amazing. I was thinking about you today and so thrilled for you and much relieved. Rest and enjoy xxxx. Go and see English harbour and Nelsons dockyard while you are there as it has a bit of history. You can take a bus/ minibus I wonder if they still sell the most amazing fish cakes as street food there? Xxxx
Well done you two. We heard today from Graham who told us your news. Sounds like an epic voyage, can’t wait to hear the details. Enjoy Antigua and then get travelling around those gorgeous islands. We will envy you that sunshine and warmth. Love Linda & Adrian
Philippa & Carruthers, Olive and Aflie….WELL DONE, WHAT A CREW. Thought of you every day and knew that you all and Dhanu were up to the challenge. We are amazed that you have had such a fast passage. We have not felt so happy about you since you told us you were getting married. You deserve the Royal Navy’s highest award “WELL DONE” you can now go and splice the Main Brace, not a problem where you are as there is plenty of Rum. Relax and enjoy your well earned time in The W. Indies. TTFN Bill & Carol. XXxx.
