Bequia to Soufriere

Ryan Turner

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.
