when sleeping. took the gps to bed and turned the lights

This was the first sail for Tim and the first one for me
with crew with no experience. That part went excellent
but the weather was not on ouer side. We had great wind
for the first two houers then nothing and then some wind
in ouer nose. The engine had to be used at the end but
the propeller was so overgrown that we could only do 3
knots on enginge. Coming in to Marina Tahina through the
reef entrance went fine and thanks to Tim for a great
job there. |

Our first sail alone, me and Darryl. We had a great sail
but the rest was not so good. When we were about to
leave the engine would not start so we sailed out and
let engine be engine. Another problem was cooking, the
gas we had gotten for the stove was the wrong kind and
was not usable cause of the emission it let out. But as
i said the sail was great, two days at sea and no
problem... |

little wind |
75 Nm in 20 hours |

In order not to do the same mistake as yesterday we stayed
very close to the shore. As it turned out, that was wrong
too. We ended up staying too close to shore and getting
no wind at all. We used the motor for a bit to
find wind but, it died on us too. So, we had to
wait it out for 3 hours until we drifted passed the
point and received some wind. The current and wind then
became very strong from the east and we ended up having
to sail about fifteen nm extra in order to turn around
and catch the wind into our destination, Marigot Bay.
Our calculations were a bit off and we changed course to
Anse Cochon, 3nm from Marigot Bay. |

Everything was great until the current got
a hold of us and we headed straight towards cuba. It was
an easier sail then the night before but, we
struggeled with the wind and current trying to stay on
track and had to start the engine for
three hours in the morning go get into Admirality Bay,
Bequia. We figured out the auto pilot early in the
night (a piston/compass system that attaches to the
rudder) and it works great,...when he wants. He's
now known as Judas. But he does allow us to kick
back and enjoy the stars, fly fish, glowing plankton
(morild), and tranquillity of the sea. |

Sailed 85 Nautical miles from Trinidad to
Grenada, it took 18 hours (estimated time-20 hours). It was a night sail and
pretty rough/wet with 3 meter waves and 25 knot NE winds.
The boat was cruising at 10 kn. during the night and 3
kn. in the morning. It was a great learning
experience for me and Darryl since we don't know too much. Simen did a great job all
night and gave us lots of confidence with the boat. |

Charaguamas is not the worst place to keep
a boat. They have all kind of shops here and it is not
too hard to get whatever you need. Although, it can be
hard to get the locals to work. Not that I will judge
them for that because it is extremly hot here and you
really don't feel like working. |
