Just a very quick one to say we crossed the finish line at 9:42 03/12/2023

It’s all been a bit of a blur since then.

Dicky, Kath, John and Nick have now gone home, so just myself and Caroline on board now. However we have friends joining us today.

As the crossing is complete I won’t now bore you with what a wonderful time we are having in the Caribbean

Thanks very much for reading and all your kind words about the blogs

Bye for now
