This was our position at noon UTC thursday,
0800 local time.
Monday afternoon I managed to drop one of the new
solar anchor lights over the side and after I had moved the solar shower bag to
put the RIB on deck I then discovered it was nowhere to be found. When we rolled
in the wake of a passing ferry it must have 'shoogled' over the side complete
with my patent trigger shower head I had fitted to it!
Had hoped for a good night's sleep but one boat
arrived about 10pm and played very loud music until about 5am and it was gone
when we got up at 7am! The Puerto Ricans certainly fit quality stereo systems in
their boats!
We slipped the mooring about 0945 in a fresh SE
wind and had a fast sail for 24 hours although we had some rain and a nasty 30
knot squall for a few minutes. Wednesday was lovely weather but lighter winds
but we still made reasonable progress mainly goosewinged.
Thursday morning has been mixed so far but now is
glorious and at 1030 local we have about 100 miles to go to the Turks &
Caicos so we will need to decide where to go as studying the charts we find
someone forgot to put any water there -- it is very
shallow!
