- pulling up anchor 6am. Oops anchor down.. first squall!
- anchor up again at 7am and off. Good north swell running.
- immediately sea sick... sleep for an hour underway
- wake up! Dolphins!!!!! (Missed a whale sighting snoozing)
- flying fish. Lots of Sargasso.
- wind 15-20 knots tight reach. Main up, main down. Main up, main down.
- main down during squalls... 4 more during day
- another boat appears off coast of St Vincent - race on!
- getting dark... Venus is there in all its splendor.
- one more squall approaching anchorage. More rain. More wind. In the dark. Main down.
- charging into Admiralty Bay at 7+ knots... did I say in the Dark? LOTS of other boats in the water... hard to distinguish anchor lights from town lights on land.

What do you call this? My sisters first ocean crossing... St Lucia to Bequia... 70 miles. Friday 13th. Still know how to show a girl a good time. Apparently would have been better without the dark ending I'm told.
