The day before yesterday (Easter Saturday) we hired a hoby cat and took some beer to the beach.  Everyone wanted to use the catermeran, especially the children.  That evening we had a BBQ on Wild Alliance.  She is the perfect party boat and easily accommodated 27 people.

The wine was flowing:

Yesterday we sailed to Norman Island, with Wild Alliance, Kosh Long, Tamarisk and Coconut.   We put up our spinnaker for the sail to Norman Island.

Keoma performed well in the conditions.  Charlie and Juliet practised some spinnaker gybes and were exhausted after seven.  We are looking forward to having other people on board to share the work, for Antigua Race Week.  We also discovered some pin holes in the spinnaker which will need to be fixed before Antigua Week.
