With just under 160 miles to run to the south coast of Grenada this ought to be our last night at sea for a while!  We had a couple of squalls during the night which kept us on our toes (they show up well in the moonlight and the more aggressive ones appear on radar too) but the wind has eased a bit during the day, so the spinnaker is back up and we are aiming to arrive at St Georges Harbour before sunset tomorrow.  We are nursing a few minor defects, but nothing that should impact on the mission or the impending sense of achievement.  

Water rationing has been lifted!
