Day 25 - Puerto Mogan to Antigua ... LAND AHOY!

We had a great sail yesterday - we ran the engine to charge the batteries and took the opportunity for all on board to have nice hot fresh water showers! We also cleaned the boat in preparation for our arrival.
During the night we had some strong squalls - at one point we were doing 9.6knots ... we decided to slow down to save our pole (which is cobbled together!) and to ensure we arrive in daylight!
We are currently less than 2 hours away and should make landfall within a few minutes of the 25 day mark!
Looking forward to fresh meat, a swim and a cool beer!

We will update the main website soon with pictures, videos, and some thoughts on the crossing. We will also now have access to our hotmail email account again soon.
