Today will be our last day here in Nanny Cay, I have already done the SailClear departure and arrival notifications for leaving Tuesday and arriving Sint Maarten Wednesday another overnight passage.

All junk removed and left on dock for racing  back onboard bar the dinghy. We had a big downpour that lasted about an hour, the dinghy has 5cm of water in it. Rain also gave the boat a good wash down too. Yesterday filled up with fuel, 62 litres for 41 hours motoring, back down to 1.5 litres/hr consumption. Water tank filled this morning.

The trip to St Maarten will be 90nm upwind. If forecast correct should be port tack all the way and be 16-18 hours. Will go and have a cooked breakfast in the morning , then motor around to Road Town to check out and then be on our was east about midday. Have booked marina until Sunday when other boats will be there to start our unofficial races.
