That was the welcome we received from the wonderful shore team as we docked back in Antigua, after an epic blast around the islands. What was I thinking about taking a spare shirt? No time and certainly no stability to change, so go off the boat as I got on, thermal underwear and all. A shower and clean clothes never felt so good.

All back safe and sound, well no less sound than when we set off. Bruised, battered, stiff, sore – all the symptoms of flat out pounding through the waves, and blasting downwind whilst hanging on – this boat is something else.

More details later as my fingers recover enough to type, plus I need to fill my body with junk food!
