Lovely sail up here, made it one tack. So yes for those keeping track we actually raised the mainsail today and sailed. We had one engine running to keep the water maker supplied with plenty of electricity, and pretty much topped off both water tanks for the visitors.

Christine is busy baking Gingerbread cookies making the place smell better than salty sailors normally do. The Freezer started working again so we have ice for drinks and had moved some of the frozen goods to back to the freezer for safe keeping.

We will be heading to the moorings base, to arrange a taxi to the airport in a few. This is one of the moorings yacht bases, and they have only 6 boats on the balls today, sometimes when we stop here there are more than 20. We dropped the hook between the 2 mooring fields.

Some of the big boys are here too.

Surely you knew it was going to happen, as soon as we leave St Vincent to head south the weather clears up, and the sun comes out to play. Nice long sail 24+ miles as the crow files, but we went on the windward side of the islands, that means the east, so we were pretty much exposed to the Atlantic ocean. A few waves but nothing too bad, nice steady wind and even tho we had the engines running in gear at just over idle making electricity to make up for the cloudy days previously we sailed the whole way.

We dropped on line in and one teaser. And wouldn’t you know it, the fridge is full and we get another water trotter to the boat, at first we thought it was another Mahi and we were gonna just let it go, but it was a Tuna, or Bonita if you is from Texas. Steaked that puppy up, and thats what Wayne and I had for dinner.

We had walked all over Canouan island trying to get to the otherside where some spectacular beach is supposed to be, but damn those hills are huge and it was hot outside, so we bailed after walking several miles up and down the hills. Stopped by the Moorings bar and grill for a cold beer before heading back to the boat to clean up and cook some dinner.

There wasn’t a real sunset yet, but we can see the moon, so the weather is cooperating.

Tomorrow we’ll head south a whopping 3 miles or so to the Tabago Keys or Mayreu for some snorkeling and chilling in a nature park behind a protected reef.

Hope Shawn and Sharon made to St Martin safely.

Sorry Charlie
