Passage t St.Martin

The problem with the passage from the Virgin Islands to St. Martin is that you are traveling east- right into the trade winds. We have been watching the weather waiting for low wind and if really lucky, wind from the north. We got lucky; we sailed the 80 miles from Virgin Gorda to St. Maarten (Dutch side) using the engine only in the beginning to get out of the reef area and get on course and at the end.
