Beam Me Down, Scotty

17 June 2009 | Rodney Bay, St. Lucia
Anthem in St. Lucia Channel

June 17

Two and a half months and 700 nautical miles since first, obviously ill-timed, comment in Dominican Republic that easy sailing would soon become a normal part of cruising experience. It's not that hard-on-the-wind into six foot, short period seas isn't fun. Everyone loves that, but the promise of hull-speed reaching has finally been realized. Fifteen to eighteen knots on the beam in four to six foot seas. Nearly perfect sail from Le Marin to Rodney Bay was capped by rain shower to wash off salt spray. Expectation runs high for continuation of same.

Ken and Diane from Annie II (Tanzer 26, still temporarily abandoned, mastless, in Salinas, PR), who are building a house near Vieux Fort, south end of island, met us (some of gang who traveled with them from Provo) for drinks and dinner. I had a lamb burger. They stayed over with Inspiration Lady to avoid rush hour through Castries... really. The place has changed a tad since last visit eighteen or so years ago.

Before heading to Bequia (BECK wee), plan a week or so around St. Lucia to take advantage of local knowledge for exploration.
