Second Chances and Brave Endings

We left the rain behind in Deshaies - except for a feisty squall that popped the top two slugs on our main. All patched up yesterday. So, the sun shone in the enchanted islands called Les Saintes. An idyll of lush green vegetation, picture perfect red roofed houses, French style and Creole charm. [...]

Just woke up from a snooze.

My watch in an hour.

Heading south.... slowly. Beating our way against the equatorial current with the wind just wandering too south of east. Should wander back in a while.

We have fish again!!!!!! A 6.5lb cero mackerel yesterday, en route to Vieux Fort, St Lucia. And a now we caught a 12lb wahoo. So Keir has the last fish to be caught on his wish list. But triumph is mixed with disaster.... we had a wahoo on each of our four lines and only landed one. Plus lost a fab lure. To make things worse Keir broke off on a big marlin, losing his birthday lure. Oh woe.

Bit weary after yesterday's slog around the East side of St Lucia. Very, very beautiful and absolutely no other cruisers. Crept into Vieux Fort at 2030. Woke up to see a beautiful and totally untouristy bay and town. Will have to visit another time, because now it is all hands to Tobago. Hope for a month of R&R before heading to Trinidad for the dreaded haul out.

Hope the wind shifts.

Bye for now.

Oh - the log is broken... our sog is 4.2 knots
