We enjoyed fair winds from Mustique to the Tobago Keys with a nice clip of 9 knots and winds 17-20, perfect sailing weather. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we did not bother to run the water-maker or make more p’s (electricity). We had seen this beautiful Gun boat (Zenyatta) while at Mustique who later set sail a good 45-60 minutes after did. Not to our surprise, she steadily gained on us, covering more water, at a faster, easier pace. We did manage to get to Canouan before she did, but she blew past us shortly after that — my excuse is that we had to stop to catch and cure our new tuna (Charlie now has a friend in the freezer)!! At least we had a great sail, caught another tuna fish and made it safely to the keys. Much to our surprise, there were a lot more boats here than we expected (being that is is off season). We found a nice spot, dropped anchor using our new wireless remote, and enjoyed the rest of the afternoon admiring the turtles around the boat. Wayne decided to go for a swim, jumps in the cool blue water, and as he lifts his arm for a stroke, his hand skims his pocket to his horror he realized that he jumped in with our new wireless remote for the anchor–despite many attempts to revise it–she is declared DOA!

We were visited by the normal boat boys, including Walter (our favorite) who promised to bring his wife’s famous banana bread and baguette for us tomorrow. Matt made a make shift tent off the bow to give us some shade as we are “hiding from the sun”. Enjoyed a quiet afternoon on the boat, a great dinner, and early night (well at least for me). I made it to sailors midnight (9pm).
