First part of the voyage saw us steaming from Southampton to New York which was a distance of 3422 miles. The sea was quite rough and at one stage rose to a force 11. The crossing took six days.


The second leg of our journey began on the 22nd December and was from New York down to the Carribean. We visited St Kitts, Dominica, St Lucia, St Maarten, St Thomas. On leaving St Thomas we then sailed back to New York.
We arrived back in New York on the 3rd January. We had a much better time in New York on this occasion and then sailed that evening for our trip home. We arrived in Southampton on the morning of the 10th January.
