We continue to move very well; we have now gone at least 600 nm at an average of 7.9 kts which is almost 200 nm a day for 3 days and that's quite remarkable! We are now about 900 from the NE corner of the Caribbean islands (with additional 430 nm to Turks and Caicos. We should be able to maintain this speed for at least another few days so we should be in the Turks in 10 days or even less. There there might be a couple weeks of quarantine involved.
[When asked later, Why there? he wrote:
It is the place where we initially were going to meet up to sail back together .... Although that train has left the station, it is still a good place to stop. We should be able to refuel and reprovision (or I should be able to). It is a nice place to hang out in case of a required quarantine (according to Jean Claude) and I don't know it whereas I know the USVI and the BVI's which I don't like all that much."]


After that [T&C] it's about a week to Baltimore. So I should be home by the first or second week of June at the latest. You could call a couple yards in the Baltimore/Annapolis area: ask if the have room for a sailboat 51ft x15ft with a draft of 4 ft board up.
We need to be on the hard to perform several maintenance works and take out the mast. The boat should be stored for a minimum of 2 months to do the work. ....
Today is much drier with sunshine and the tradewinds are still blowing between 18 and 24kts steadily. The sea state is better, less of a rodeo ride. This morning we got a mahi-mahi so it was raw fish in lemon with carrots and Chinese cabbage for lunch. Yesterday Annina made a gratin dauphinois, so it's going to be leftover gratin with grilled mahi-mahi for dinner.
