We mentioned in a recent blog that we hadn’t seen much wildlife recently, and are hoping that this changes as we get closer to the Caribbean. Today Rachel was rowing just before a handover and spotted a dark patch in the water behind the boat. Concerned that it might be fishing net about to foul up the rudder, Lin popped out to take a closer look. Only to find the biggest turtle in history staring back at her! |

Is everything really so sweet on the boat between us? We often get asked about how we’ll cope with different situations onboard particularly if we start to get on each others nerves. It’s inevitable that will happen sometimes but thankfully not as often as perhaps we thought. |

Spirits are high onboard Barbara Ivy today as yesterday we managed to get to 17 degrees North and turned West towards Antigua. Overnight we managed an amazing 30 miles in 12 hours – and Eddy is a distant memory and we’re hoping we’re on the Antigua Express now! |

It’s been like Groundhog Day on Barbara Ivy lately. We’ve had five days that we thought would never end, fighting with the weather and waves not to go too far South only to find that we have another five days of blasted NE winds pushing us South. Thankfully we’re not the only ones and we’ve discovered we’re not the furthest South too but it doesn’t take away from the fact that it’s a real struggle rowing against the waves and wind all day. |
