A fantastic fast 60 mile sail to Morris Island leaving in the dark at 0600 and arriving at 1500, nine hours later.  Again an average of over 6 knots and very fast for Tashi Delek.  Although we started first we were eventually overtaken by the other 11 yachts in our little fleet and arrived last.  A situation to be repeated in the days to come as Tashi Delek is the smallest yacht in this group of yachts.  Morris Island is a tiny speck of land on a huge reef and boasts a single perfect palm tree.  We all sheltered bunched together behind the island and despite the 2 metre tide covering the reef and the wind continuing to blow, we all had a calm and peaceful night.
