Where was yestereday’s weather the entire trip so far? We got to crack off the wind a bit between Les Saints to Guadeloupe where we fully expected to be in the lee of the the butterfly island, in the lee is behind the mountains and not much wind, so thats where we had breakfast. We motor sailed again, just to keep out time down and to possibly arrive in the daylight. We could probably have sailed without the noise makers but.. its vacation and just sort of wanted to make it north.
Bonzai into customs after setting the hook, they were still open, clearing in the eSeaClear system is supposed to be easy, but they keep changing it and I couldn’t login, so a new account had to be created. Not a big deal, just took longer than its supposed to. No worries, cleared in and on shore in time for happy hour.
Asked for recommendations for food from some locals and they said the place by customs, it sure looked fancy to me. But after HH we head over there, and if not everyone from the happy hour bar was there, I didn’t see the missing person. A nice band was playing we ordered a pizza and a couple salads. Yummy, and back to the boat well early to get some sleep.
Had made the decision to hit Barbuda and make Xmas there, so we had 40 miles to cover and to clear out of customs and grab some more beer to replenish the diminishing supply. Oh and a bottle of champagne for xmas morning mimosas, ala Melnar style.
One beer on the boat, out were the lights. Might have been 9pm if lucky.
