We made it! yeah…. kirk has talked about this island for years. he and christian are off to see the fort with ross and diana of one white tree. i am resting my sore foot.
the weather changed and we left deshaise around 8 am after we listened to the weather and checked other weather resources. so we were definitely not prepared to go but off we went. for part of the trip we motored, then sail, then motored. all depended upon if we were in the lee of an island. finally, we had a great sail. i think the kind kirk and christian have dreamed of. blue water, some big waves, lots of wind and the boat was racing along. i saw 9.3 knots which is fast fast fast. we double reefs in the main and the geneoa. we were dodging squalls but still got some of the big gusts from them.
christian and kirk hope to go to the water falls tomorrow. they are supposed to be beautiful. we just went through the islands they call "brushed by the clouds" and they truly are. the clouds hang around the peaks of the mountains. i would not believe it until i saw it. unfortunately, it was really cloudy, rainy, squally etc so i did not take any pictures except the ones i already posted.
it is on to st vincent and st lucia. i think christian will fly out of st lucia.
