As we drew close to St Lucia there was an air of excitement, three weeks on a small boat with the same few people was enough, and we were ready to get off and enjoy the fruits of the land.
Land ahoy; 35 miles out and there is St Lucia, such a fantastic sight. Three weeks, just over 3000 miles and we were nearly there, a very emotional time.
Mobile phones were out, and we patiently waited for the signal strength to build for the first call home.
