Every morning just after dawn an unusual ritual takes place on the beach in Carlisle Bay. As I watch from my hotel room balcony, what I presume to be stable-hands from the nearby race course lead their horses into the sea for a ritual that seems to be enjoyed by men and horses alike.<\/p>\n

I remember being just as fascinated when I witnessed this very same ritual soon after our landfall in Barbados at the end of my first transatlantic passage in December 1976.<\/p>\n

Only two Atlantic Odyssey<\/em> boats made landfall in today. First to arrive was Mariposa<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Mariposa was followed by Jajapami<\/em>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Falkor<\/em> is expected this evening, while Shamrock<\/em> and Wellis<\/em> are due in tomorrow, in time for the Atlantic Odyssey<\/em> farewell party.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately Mercator<\/em> and Lotus<\/em>, both of which had a delayed start from Mindelo in the Cape Verde Islands, will miss the party.<\/p>\n
