Position 12.27.415N 61.29.243W
Did not get away from Port Louis at 10am because the
immigration officer was not in. The customs guy called to get his whereabouts.
Left the dock at 10.30 and for all those worrying, John did not get wet this
time.
Beat for 90% of the trip and most annoyingly when
we were aboutto tack for Carriacou the wind started to lift so we took it.
Eventually the lift was 35 degrees so we ended up going north a few more mile
north than anticipated to get the tack in to the anchorage. As we arrived here
at 1800 and plan to leave at 0500, to keep things simple picked up a mooring
bouy. Again we had lots of water coming over the foredeck and the good thing no
water in the forward cabin as no elastics left in the seal. Aft locker is dry
too, having put some lilicon grease on the rudder seal to stop water going down
the post.
Better get and cook some baked beans and spam for dinner
then a good sleep for the 50 miles to Young Island Cut Quarantine area in St
Vincent & Grenadines.
