The morning of  Dec. 2nd Freddie shouted,”I can see land!” We all jumped around the boat dancing and laughing.

What a sight after 19 days at sea,there in the distance the beautiful island of Antigua,so lush and inviting!

The green landscape was amazing! The children wanted to swim to shore.

Land Ahoy ! 2900 Miles and it seemed so quick !!

Messages were sent to Jolly Harbour Control we were on our way in.

We could smell the coconuts!

The customs and immigration were expecting us and so was a Rum punch from Blue Water Rally control.

Boot and Richard Bolt.

The island pelicans came to meet us too.

Our first great ocean crossing complete,we were feeling elated and exhausted and happy to be here.      Miss Tippy is amazing ,she looked as though she had just been launched,gleaming and beautiful in the Caribbean sun.
