After a 14 mile sail off the banks of the Turks and
Caicos we finally reached open water before dark. It has been good sailing so
far although a bit rolly (well more than a bit, it is a challenge keeping the
nav chair which is on castors in one position to write this!). We have covered
about 140 miles so far. We had stowaways on board again. as we moved some hatch
covers that had been put in a pile in the cockpit while we were on the hard,
hundreds ( well a lot anyway) of mosquitoes came zooming out, straight into the
cabin. we spent the next few hours spraying and swatting, think they have all
gone now!
Plans may be changing as there is a cold front due
Thurs so we need to be in Florida by Wedsneday morning at the latest so will
head for West Palm beach or other ports in that region.
