Hot, sunny. Mayreau is not very far so we decide to just motor there. That is pretty common around here. We’re off early as it is best to get there early. We are so early in fact (well before 9 am), we’re concerned no one will have left yet to get a good spot! But…

Hot, sunny. Happy Birthday Earl. Miss you. Nice anchorage last night, not too rough and a good breeze. Which is good cuz we have an ugly problem to work on today. I call Gazimo early, he says meet me at the dinghy dock in 20 minutes. Wow, wasn’t expecting that. Three sh*tty hours later we…

Hot, sunny. Heading south again. The winds are pretty favourable although a little too far south to make it as downwind as I would like. The trick is to leave earlier because the winds shift south later in the day. Still we hum along at about 6 kts and have a pretty enjoyable sail. Don’t…

Sunny, hot. We’re parked probably a little farther away than I’d like, opposite the south end of Princess Margaret beach. It’s pretty windy and rocky here, but the winds are fresh and it’s cool. The next few days are pretty relaxed. Turns out NOT going to St. Lucia has taken a load off our minds…

Hot and sunny. We arrived! No troubles at the airport, in fact we arrive much earlier than we expected: we get our rental car, we go to see our new purchase. Of course the battery installation is not complete but Fabien is working on it and has the house batteries installed so at least we…

Hot, sunny. In the morning I call Barefoot Cruising and ask to speak to someone regarding my missing ASA cert. Turns out she is not in til Monday so no point in going there today. In fact, we never do go. Well, jobs to do of course. First thing is install the new MPPT controller.…

Hot, sunny. We’re intending to sail to St. Lucia to meet some people we met in the Grenada airport who are there for the ARC windup. We’re looking (well Christy is looking) at all the sailing info on the route and the destinations. Turns out both St. Vincent and St. Lucia are pretty unsafe for…

Nice cool night, hot and sunny again today. A bit cloudy in the morning so I check the weather but all looks good. We’ve got a pretty big sail today, about 6 hours to Bequia, I’m hoping to sail almost all the way. I raise the dinghy, determined this time to secure it so it…

Sunny, hot. We’re up early so we can get a good spot in the Cays. It’s only about an hour motor away so off we go, we’re moored in a good position by 9:30 am. We fritter away the morning then decide to go ashore for a hike up the big hill behind Petite Bateau,…

It’s hot. It’s sunny. Beautiful wind keeping us cool though in Clifton Harbour. Still I had trouble sleeping so at 2 in the morning I get up and make the rope harnesses for the dinghy to be able to pull it up on the davits. Should work. Coffee and chores then we’re going to fix…
