Retour vers Deshaies assez long car mer agitée, arrivée à la tombée de la nuit

Départ de Deshaies , traversée très agréable à la voile. Nous avons pêché un barracuda remonte par Vincent. À l’arrivée, après la clairance, une petite bière chez Moose était la bienvenue. Très beaux paysages de Montserrat

Quick trip back to the marina, where we stopped at the fuel dock before hailing the dock master to bring us in.

A near perfect day for sailing. Winds were steady 16kn E with swells at 2-3’ easing to 1-2 by the afternoon. Partly cloudy the whole way and no rain. We anchored at 15’ in sand on our second attempt, since the first grabbed some grass and did not hold.

Morning conditions were calm and wonderful. Late morning we hit a squall with sustained winds at 25 knots and heavy rain. I set the autopilot and maintained watch from below as the swells increased to 8-9 feet at 5s. It was pretty rough conditions for the next hour and then as we approached Les Saintes the seas calmed down. We moored in the bay of Le Bourg, with the crew did a perfect catch on a reverse approach.

Good wind for the first half with seas at a lovely 1-2’ Lazy jacks broke on the port side taking up the sail, which created a long delay bring down the sails. Ran engines and 1100 rpm for the duration to charge the batteries back to full. Cruised at 6-7. Anchor failed to hold good in the first two stops but found a great spot a little south of where we originally planned.
