Wind was anywhere from 6-20 knots. Mostly avg 9-10 knots apparent. We had anywhere from 30-70 degrees wind angle. Some sailing and some more sailing throughout. We decided to turn on the east side of Cozumel and proceed in the Gulf Stream to Cuba. However, we lost our wind angle, were directly upwind and waves were hitting from the front. We decided to alter course and go anchor in Cozumel on the west side of the island. It took 3+ more hours to get there though. Fished for the 1st time and caught none. Sea temp was 76-77 F. Waves up to 3 feet.

5 knots of wind and too light to sail. Motored with main. 1 ft waves and pleasant conditions. Had dinner in Placencia which was a nice local place with music and nice selection of restaurants. Made water for 6 hours after draining the tanks. Watermaker is only making about 20 gallons/hour and underperforming by 50%.

8-9 knots apparent wind close reach sail. Had to tack to sail but 90 minutes before destination, motored upwind. Picking up anchor was with thick clay and took some maneuvering to pull up. Dori sv was also in our anchorage and sailed similarly to placencia. Much nicer conditions today with 1 ft waves.

Started out motor sailing with 5-7 knots of wind close reach. Waves 1-2 ft. Once we cleared the inlet wind picked up to 20 knots upwind and we motored until eventually waves were 2-3 feet in 1-2 seconds from the front. We decided to pull into New Haven with front sail at 35 degrees of 21 knots apparent wind and up to 2.5 knots of current against us. The conditions were very uncomfortable at this point. The oscillating auto pilot in the river was no longer occurring once out to sea. However, the water maker is not working.
