Ahhhh ... Finally we are sailing again. After five long months we have the sound of the wind through the rigging, the waves and Jimmy Buffett on the stereo. I don't think life could be more perfect!
It is a perfect sailing day, 82-degrees, sunny skies, 2-3 foot waves and 18 knots of wind from the northeast. We have all of the sails up and all of their canvas out, we are averaging about 6 knots of speed. This should put us into Carriacou around 6:00 PM.
As the coast of Grenada slips past us it is a little bittersweet. On the one hand, I am excited to be on the move and anxious to explore the new lands ahead. On the other hand, I am sad to leave this beautiful island and it's equally beautiful people we have grown to know so well. Though I am sad to leave I know we will return and look forward to catching up with everyone then!
