Our goal was to travel a day and a half from Grenada to Les Saintes which would have been about 40 hours (give or take). After our later start and bad weather, we ended up motor sailing for about 6 hours in an average of 25 knots of wind, 2.5-3 meter seas at 10 seconds apart in between several squalls. We were in a constant state of “wet”. None of us were feeling “well” so we made the decision to abort Les Saintes and back track to Union island – still another 5 hours in what I call pure “crappy” weather! We rolled into Chatham bay around 10:30 and went straight to bed! OMG what a long rough day. Keep in mind that we thought it would be an easy breezy trip – long, but easy so I did not wear a patch or take any meds. We got up after a good night’s rest and headed north – not sure where, but our goal was to hit St Lucia which was about 90 miles. We endured another challenging weather day with the same swells, squalls, and wind and rolled into Rodney Bay around 930pm. Got another good night’s rest and headed North again to Martinque. We all decided to call it a short day after 8 hours of being beaten up by the weather and pulled into St. Pierre where we stayed on the boat (didn’t want to clear customs as we were planning on leaving at dawn). The boat has been awesome, holding strong, taking a beating on the waves, being launched all over the place and drenched by heavy seas and rains. Some pretty pictures of Martinique – you wouldn’t know that the weather was not cooperating by these pretty pictures!
