Lucia and Etienne are joining us for the sail of the San Blas. We met them in St. Pierre in Martinique last December. They had hitch-hike sailboats from Europe across the Atlantic and they were looking for a boat heading south. Since we left we have been sailing with only a full main in about 18-20 kts of wind. Until Nevis we sailed on a starboard tack and right before Nevis we jibed and change tack. Sailing is quite comfortable with only an occasional roll due to a wave in the stern.  Leaving Jolly Harbor. Lucia (from Spain) and Etienne (from France) are joining us for the sail to the San Blas  Crossing of a cruise ship at sunset  Etienne relaxing with a sailing magazine |
