Philippides III - BVI to St Martin trip

BVI to St Martin trip

Philippides III

Chris & Carol Jackson

Tue 13 May 2008 20:24

All started fine in expected force 4 to 5 South Easterly trades, lovely sail to start with and expected the 75 mile trip to take 24 hours as we were tacking into the wind, however, wind dropped to nothing around 1400 so it was engine on and motoring into lumpy sea, its now 2100 and we have another 4 hours to go, lovely starry night though and the watermakers been on most of the day so our tanks are full,batteries charged, its not too bad. Dolphins came to play this afternoon.
