Grenada to Trinidad

Spicy start with 15-21kts and a short chop running off the south end of Grenada. At first had some favourable southeast current and then very noticeable line where it switched to 2kts northwest which really slowed things down. Seas smoothed out and wind stabilized with 110 T and it was a lovely uneventful cruise to La Boca. Tide had just turned against and it was a serious rip running through the pass, up to 3kts against in some parts! Iron genny with main assist got us through to a mooring in Chaguaramas and the circus of clearing customs in Trini. Great trip with a great crew!

Guadeloupe to Grenada delivery leg

Super chill delivery blast, very hazy and disappointing in the view department… but no squalls and flat seas, so no complaints!

Antigua to Guadeloupe delivery

Flat seas, 5-10kts with one set of clouds that brought more breeze and had us put in a reef. Anchored at Pointe Malendure as per usual, trouble hooking the first two times but then locked in.
