As you know our plans can be quite changeable and with the forecast looking
to send the wind round to the South with a front coming in we decided Tuesday
evening to head as far South as we could get and then wait and see. We do
a 3 hour on 3 hour off watch system which is long enough fro Chris to set the
sails and then if all remains as it should I donât have a lot to do but ....
enough said I am learning about sail trimming quickly, not saying I am good at
it but willing to learn! A fairly uneventful night but the front came in
quite fast and we had no winds for a while and now have southerlies which is on
the nose for our planned trip! I remember being told the trades blew
steady North Easterly 15 â 25 knots steady the whole time? Do not know
what happened to them....
We are now in St Pierre, Martinique and looking at Sat or Sun Easterly wind
which will set us in the right direction so will set of on the next leg (legs)
