There were storms and lightening for a few days and we felt tired and emotional,the boat surged and rolled and sleep was difficult. The children all crawled into bed with me until my watch at 4am.                                  It was so hard to get up with the night sky flashing with lightening,rain lashing and wind howling.

Brian and Mark soaking wet at changing of the watch.After some incredible stormy nights,the sun came up to warm us.

Atlantic, majestic sunrise.

Freddie ready to relieve me for his morning watch, quickly despatched to put on his life jacket .The sea is once again calm!!

We are only days away from Antigua,wind is now light and variable time for the cruising chute again.We don’t want to motor but can’t wait  to see Antigua !

Miss Tippy carrying us safely on our passage through the sea and the trade winds.                                   Only 650 miles to go !
