One way to spend Lent....

[phanakapan]

We are setting off today from St Helena, Mid Atlantic, towards the Caribbean. Because we are a bit short of time, we are planning a direct hit to Grenada, probably by-passing Ascension, Fernando de Noronha, the north east coast of South America and Trinidad/Tobago. So a total of 3700nm or more; and at our rate of 100nm a day, we should be rolling into Grenada on Good Friday or later! Boring 'what we had for tea' type blog available here www.sailblogs.com/member/wanderings - boring mostly because it's short and sweet, sent by satellite phone, and cos we don't put anything too scary or lurid so as not to frighten the relatives- but you're welcome to look anyway.
IF we make Grenada, we will have completed our circumnavigation... just a little matter of another Atlantic crossing to do to get home again. I have plans for the Cherbourg trip this year!

As I sat eating my pancakes last night I got thinking. We do pancakes, whilst in South America they do Carnival. Elsewhere it is Mardi Gras. They have a whale of a time. We eat fried batter.

Ever thought we are missing out on something? :nonchalance:

That said, SWMBO's pancakes were lovely.

Sorry, how rude of me to recount me thoughts and not also express my best wishes. So....
