Our best passage ever!
Now safely anchored alongside our friends in Deshaies, Guadeloupe, we can honestly say that after reflecting upon yesterday’s trip, we don’t think we have ever had a better passage. I know that with the miles we’ve covered, that’s a pretty strong statement, but it’s true.
The wind was, for most of the trip, blowing between 15-20 knots and consistently from the east. This allowed us to sail on a fast beam reach all the way to Guadeloupe without tacking (we averaged about 7-8 knots). Although the water wasn’t glass calm, the waves were not so bad that our autopilot couldn’t keep up with the demands, at least most of the time anyway. The sun was shining, the engines were resting, the music was playing, and to top it all off, we caught another fish, a Little Tunny! What more could one ask for?
Hopefully you beat the mono hull this time?
Sashimi and seared Tuna for dinner!
They were afraid of us beating them so they left from a different location and 30-40 minutes later than us
You should have been tubing behind the boat…yahoo!!
We could have!
Happy arrivals – glad to hear you had a fantastic passage. Now it’s time to brush up on all that French you learned in this fine bilingual country of ours – eh?
Enjoy the fish!!
