With the Easterly trade winds at an all time low, we decided yesterday afternoon to do an overnight sail to Antigua. (80nm)
Good decision!!!
It was pretty much a one tack beat in very flat seas and 8 to 10 knots of wind under an "almost full" moon. Nothing exciting, just a VERY nice sail. No water hit the deck.
Now the plan is to spend 3 or 4 days here and then back to st Martin where Leslie will leave us. Deb and I will then head to st Thomas for final prep before sailing north to Bermuda at the end of the month!
