Picked up hook and departed St Martin just about one hour since and now heading WNW for about 80NM towards Virgin Gorda, ETA tomorrow morning, which is a Bank Holiday!
This afternoon Annie & Mike went ashore, explored Marigot and updated their FB pages/blog from local internet bar. Whilst yacht-alone I did some additional boat jobs and have made us a scrummy spag-bol for this evenings meal of the day, which we intend having after dark and before we start night-watches at 2100.
Before we left I spent a little while in the water, armed with snorkle, mask and deck-brush to remove some more interlopers of the marine beastie variety. Did good job too, despite the relative poor visibility in the water, as well the dick'ed stinkpotters who persist in making disruptive & annoying passed close-by!
We're presently using poled-genoa + 1300 rpm of donk making 6kn. We need just a little more windies (please) so that we can shut the donk off and have complete peace. We'll have a little twiddle after I send this blog.
