We left St Lucia at 3pm bound for Les Saintes, Guadeloupe and had a great sail past Martinique and Dominica, arriving in around 1:30pm the next day. The winds were reasonably strong with a East North Easterly so not too bad for where we were heading.
Dad wanted to experience the night sail so was kitted out with everything and did his shifts, including dealing with a squall and mastering large freighters coming towards us fast in the dark. He’s looking a little dazed given one of his shifts was from midnight to 2am.
Mum stayed up with everyone keeping us fed, so was a great addition in the galley. All in all a success and yes everyone is in bed as I write this blog at 9:30pm.
Wow! You guys are making tracks. You know your way around the Caribbean seas pretty good now. Seems like you are making the good stops and enjoying the culture. I so enjoy your pics and stories. Keep up the good work Teresa!
Wow, that’s a big sail! Your dad looks very official at the helm – no monkeying around on his watch! Way to go, John! 😉
