A fair bit of weed on this trip which was quite apt as we could smell it being a smoked about a mile off! The engine cut out 4 times and needed new filters on each occasion. After having the entire fuel system cleaned in st. Lucia it was extremely annoying. I’ll race in Antigua for the next week before heading back to the UK solo

Beautiful clear night with good sailing. Typical wind shadows behind Dominica and Martinique but otherwise very nice. Winds were a little more out of the south than I expected until we got into the south end of Martinique. The channel between there and St Lucia was a blast and we held 8+ kts in 18-25kts pretty much to Marigot Bay (barnacles and all!).
