18-20 kt winds in rough seas, no wind, 180 degree change in winds made for a peculiar day, but always fun!

Calm seas with 12-15 kts for short trip. Forgot to stop timer.

2-3 kt winds, short but very nice sail.

Another fabulous upwind sail with a few tacks in calm seas with 15 kt wind.

Another beautiful sail with 20 kt winds and lovely scenery. Tight Med anchor and chaos after catching another boats chain with our an hor and keel, but finally got in without a scratch. Fifty feet from a little beach and quaint shops.

Strong wind 25 kt winds going through channel and some confused seas, but i thought it was a great sail and beautiful day. Tied off to shore with absolutely stunning rock cliffs and stayed next to our friends Pietro and his parents. The rock climbing here surely has high 5.10 grades on a very large rock face. O scrambled a little in sneakers and the rock has great hamd holds but you need to check often as some was hollow sounding and lost of scree from rockfall and slides.

Beautiful sail, 13-15 kts, full sun, 30C air temp, 27C water temp First time seeing a Mediterranean dock procedure.

First three days from Dry Tortugas motoring due to 2-3 knot wind. Engine alerted us to oil leak on day four that was bad and we were forced to sail the rest of the way to within 3/4 mile of slip. We had a fun, full day in Dry Tortugas, after anchoring once again in the dark, checking out Fort Hamilton and then took the dingy to Loggerhead Key and snorkeled in the 3rd largest coral reef in the world…beautiful fish, lobster and a conch. The location is beautiful for anchoring, you must anchor within 1 mile of the fort. On the last day we sailed in 2-3m waves with 20-25 knot winds…exciting and didn’t allow for much sleep.
