Greetings from Admiralty Bay Bequia! We anchored @ 4 PM atlantic time after a non stop 54 hour run from Virgin Gorda. BVI
We are all fine and happy to be at the top of the Grenadines. We'll easily make Grenada for my flight home and have some time for a couple of stops along the way.
Winds were 20 to 25 kts the whole way, most of the run was with the apparent wind at 60 degrees of the port bow. 2 flying fish met their demise on our deck. The first night we took a reef in the main, last night we left it full and Karmela B sailed fine with the wind blowing 20 to 25. Our course was, generally, 160 degrees and became 180 for the last part of the run. Our first land fall was St. Lucia, about 10 miles off our port side, we then ran down St. Vincent, staying off the coast about 4 miles before making the 10 mile crossing of Bequia Channel to Bequia.
Our first day and night were hard for Laura, who was sick most of the 24 hour period, but yesterday and to day were much better.
Roger and I stood watch in 3 hour shifts the first night, Last night Laura joined in and did 7 to 9 and 4 to 6.
Laura is really pleased at having stuck it out as she was ready to get off the boat after the first night.
Sailing at night is as lovely as I remember, beautiful stars and milky way 'til moon rise at 10 pm
Our only technical problem was discovering this morning that the pin that attaches the tack of the boom to the mast had sheared! Fortunately we were able to secure the boom with short pieces of line and were able to sail the rest of the way here. We'll get a new pin tomorrow.
