We very sadly said goodbye to the last of our team the Aytons. We have had such fun holidaying with Danny, Abigail & Eleanor over the last 2 weeks.

It is the start of the next phase for our family and we are all onboard Arion and no more waterside property with pontoons out front

Our first night we had in Rodney Bay which was very windy. Thankfully the new anchor held which is always a worry. It got tested properly for the first time in Caribbean waters.

Our first morning on board we listened to the local radio net and decided after a swim at the beach to sail for Marigot Bay 7.8 miles down the coast. There was over 20 Knots of breeze so 3 reefs in the main and a very small jib we fast reached down the coast in 1.5 hours to Marigot Bay.
