Explore Sailing Voyages in Saint Lucia 🇱🇨

Mostly a light motor sail in 12 knots apparent on a broad reach. Hit a squall about an hour from Bequia - had to put 1 reef the main and 2 reefs in the Genoa, in a hurry (with a face full of rain). Managed to leave by 6:30 am and got in a bit after 3:30 pm. We were able to check back in to Saint Vincent (despite the Carnival holiday) and catch the Brazil / Norway game in town.

After checking out of Saint Vincent we set sailed at 9:45 am. Motor sailed up the leeward side of Bequia. Averaged 6.5 knots on a close reach through the channel. 2 knots of tidal current blew us almost 8 nm off shore. Made for an hour long motor into the wind to arrive in Souffriere, Saint Lucia. Overall a very smooth crossing with full main and 1 reef in the Genoa for the majority of the time. Feasted on BBQ bratwurst under Petit Piton.
