Sunday. We cast off in the morning and headed out to St. John. The first hour or so was spent in learning handling under power. One great advantage of a cat is having two engines 20 odd feet apart. This gives you great maneuverability. Of course, when you're driving a 45'x25' boat, you need it!

We did all this right outside Red Hook Harbour as there was a regatta going on just offshore in Pillsbury Sound. We didn't feel like blundering around anywhere near them.

Then we raised the sails and set off towards St. John. We sailed along the north shore of St. John, then up towards Jost van Dyke. We practiced tacking and jybing between Great Thatch Island and JVD. We finally headed back to St. John and picked up a mooring in Maho Bay.

We finished off the day by grilling some burgers.
