We’ve been staying in the Rodney Bay Marina & every day more ARC boats arrive after completing their crossing.  Every arrival is greeted with a horn & siren, no matter what time of night or day.  With all the people on one site the internet died or at least slowed to almost nothing. 
We are now in Marigot Bay which is just down the coast & the internet is like broadband at home.  So here are a few pictures from the crossing.
 
Here’s our downwind rig – Note me (Chris) at the bow as it shows the size of the sails.

And all the ropes to keep the sails out.....
