Now we have wind – lots of it and from the wrong direction. We started out for Little Harbour on Long Island at 0800 this morning and for once had a great sail with all the sails up and “smoking along” at over 8 knots. Unfortunately the wind and swell went around to the east which made getting into little harbour impossible. So we headed around the south of Long Island to find a small anchorage that gave us some shelter but it is very tight to the reefs and we will have a keep a careful eye on things overnight. Forecast is not great for tomorrow and we could still have strong winds for the better part of the day and will have to make a decision in the morning on whether we head out for Rum Cay or wait for the wind and seas to die down somewhat. Time is starting to get tight for our intended arrival on Florida on the 1^st but a day or so will not make that much difference. We may have to skip a few islands as we go north and do a few night sails which we have been trying to avoid around here mainly due to the number of passages and reefs that require daylight and good visibility.
