Martinique to Antigua

Jeff Wilcox

Light winds mostly on our nose for a while, unlike the broad reach forecasted. Martinique coast was just a weird mess of light wind and changing directions. Gap between Martinique and Dominica was nice close reach with a squall or two. Dominica had no wind and the Dominica Guadaloupe gap was light too according to Jay and Livnat. Some motoring. Motored through most of Guadeloupe wind shadow and then the sailing was wonderful once we reached the north part of the island all the way to Antigua. Not the forecasted broad reach but a nice beam reach in 10-18kts made for good fast sailing.
