14°37'N 49°03'W - I don't like Christmas, and I don't think I ever did. But spending it so far away from the one you love... Now that really sucks.

Today was a good day though. We finally put the sail in a 'butterfly' configuration, sailing downwind straight to Barbados. The waves... nah, forget about them. This evening I made a Thai curry which, if I may say so myself, was delicious. It was SO good, nobody tasted that it had a can of dog food in it! (Well ok, not exactly dog food, but not the kind of 'meat' that I would dare to cook, or even buy at home.)

André and Fiona put up their Christmas lights in the saloon. They even found a CD with all those crappy Holiday Season songs on it. Oh yeah, let's get the party started! Well, they also promised Rob and me a feast of a diner tomorrow. I can't wait...

The weather is looking good for the next couple of days, and we can almost count the hours until arrival. On top of that, our POD is working overtime again, so we should be able to get there fast.

Sadly, I had to close all comments. (Thanks to all the comment spammers.) Please send me an e-mail if you have any questions about this shipslog and/or this particular entry.
