We spent the day having fun in the sun. Max and Nick had their 11.00 game of backgammon with Calvados and coffee after which Max came snorkelling with me.


At 17.00 we decided to go back to Florida where we can have internet and phone access over Christmas, and hire a car to drive down the Florida Keys.  We hit the Gulf Stream as soon as we left Gun Key and repeated the very bumpy trip as before. There was also 15-20 knots of wind to contend with and despite sailing on a hugely reefed genoa we had trouble going slowly enough to reach the other side by daybreak.
