Les Reynolds

Winds 24-26 kts steady. Beam reach most of the way. 1-3m waves between nose and beam. Felt sick for the first time ever (including the crossing from Nantucket to Hampton). Took Dramamine and felt better. Les and Briget were also not too happy about the swell. Skies were clear until we approached Martinique. Anchored on a mooring ball in Saint Pierre

Conditions were light to start, then built to 20kn winds, with up to 3m waves in a disorganized following sea. After we motored around Nantucket, it was all downwind sailing. We motored the last few hours to get to the Chesapeake, in an effort to get to the anchorage before dark. We reefed and shook out both main and jib a few times, and managed to break the boom vang line and block, and Pampered Chef pan.
