A fine sail to Guadeloupe saw us Jolly Harbour,
Antigua to Deshaies in 8 hours. Anchored in the bay you would think we
came through 30-40 knot winds but I am reassured the wind howling in here is the
funnelling effect of the hills around us and not what we are to expect
offshore.
Once past Cades Reef on the SW corner of Antigua
all we had to do was set course and negotiate the 6-9ft swells coming
at us, Winny performed well and no broken crockery, result.
Tomorrow we have to find a customs office,
hopefully complete with customs officer, to clear in. Not easy as the
officer would appear to have a cheap watch and makes the rules!
If we miss him/her we will have to go to the
botanical gardens or some such place and chat to other yachties to see how they
got on.
Au Revoir
