stayed consistently in the wrong direction. Our course we want to go is 278
degrees and the wind is coming from that direction. We have been on the port
tack heading NW but there is bigger wind and waves in that direction. There
are two lows effecting the northern part of the course and we do not want to
get mixed up in the second low as it is powerful. We decided to tack south
once the wind shifted more to the NW. This is not giving us a direct course
to St. Lucia but should set us up nicely when (and if!!!) the trade winds
fill in later in the week.
We took a couple of photos today but it was generally too wet and too windy
to take many.
Hi to Alex, Ian and Luke! Love you guys!
