Around 2pm a vague blob appears on the horizon, Babs immediately blows the Horn and yells, Land Ahoy! Since then time has slowed down onboard, as everyone stares at the blob that only very slowly gets bigger.. it will still take many hours before Guppy will be there. We spotted the island from about 30nm distance, Guppy is going at about 6knots that means it still takes 5 hours to reach the island and a couple more to the bay.. The day continues to be very squally with periods of rain and very shifting winds, which keep us all busy and let time go faster.. There seems to be very mixed feelings onboard at the moment. Some can’t wait to reach land whereas others could keep sailing forever – me included 😉
