Day 21: So near and Yet so Far by Skipper Pete

We're within sight of St Lucia but the last 24 hours have been the slowest of the entire trip.

We're wallowing in 6-8 knots of wind just about squeezing 5 knots out of Rafiki with the spinnaker up.

We can't motorsail because our engine is pooped...

Hopes of arriving before nightfall are fading but hopefully the ARC team will still organise a tow for us tonight to get into the marina.

The fridge is back on and filled with a few treats to consume on arrival.
