Update from Caribbean

From Geoff:

We're running pretty much according to the plan so far. Great sailing with the spinnaker up most of the morning. Today we have been sailing at about 8 knots, with the wind blowing around 15 knots. We're heading slightly further to the south than planned, just due to the wind conditions, we're currently heading roughly toward Aruba.

Pete and I were having bets on who would be the first one injured on the boat. Well we already have a winner, it was Pete who draw first blood when he stubbed his toe on the deck. He's OK though.

Pete also wins the prize for the first fish caught - well, he didn't really catch it, it was a flying fish that jumped onto the deck.
We still think it will take us around a week to get to Panama. I'll check-in again in a couple of days.

UPDATE: Winds improving a little today, and we even got the boat sailing up to 11 knots. It's a nice fast boat.
