Day 24 - Puerto Mogan to Antigua

Another good day in the trade winds on Newtsville! Good progress made and we get closer by the hour to Antigua. By noon today we should be less than 150 to go!
Yesterday Kate cut my hair - a bit risky in the big seas but I look much more respectable now! We have also started the cleaning / tidying process on board to make the boat look a little more respectable when we arrive!
We had to change the gas bottle also yesterday - we seem to use one every 2 months so carry 4 months in total which seems ok. We have over half our water left and around 1/3rd of our fuel.
Kate's brother Paul has sailed his charter boat down from the BVI's and is currently waiting in English Habour for us so it will be great to see him when we arrive!
Aiming to arrive on Sunday morning.
