Antigua to Sint Maarten

Jeff Wilcox

Left around 5:30pm to mild wind. Picked up ok after Antigua and rode a nice broad reach in ~10kts apparent most f the night once that settled in. Wind direction was forcing us into St Barts though and given the option to do a bunch of jibes, take the long way around east St Barts or motor, I took the latter. Did a slow cruise in to make the 9:30 bridge opening. Marina here is not as great as it seemed on the web.
