Walking in Jonny Depp's Footsteps.
We made great time from St Lucia to St Vincent. With two reefs in the main and full genoa we were flying along in a good stiff breeze. One thing we are learning here.........you've always got wind. Especially between the islands and with a good Atlantic swell we were catching some good waves as well. We also caught a nice big Wahoo. This fed us several meals as well as 10 friends on board a couple of ...
Im Dienste der Barbarella
... mich mit tuerkisfarbigen Meer und weissen Straenden vergnuegen. Damit meine innere Balance nicht aus dem Gleichgewicht fliegt, goenne ich mir fruehmorgens einen Sprung ins 29 Grad warme Wasser.

Needless to say, because of this, the walkway was full of green mossy type ...
There's nothing jolly about Christmas Winds
The weather has been a challenge since we departed Grenada back on January 20. The wind has been very strong from the NE to ENE - not a favorable direction for heading north up the Windward/Leeward Island chain. The high winds produce high seas and when the waves are coming forward of the beam, it's a rough ride.
