Started off the day with fast broad reaching in overcast skies; then by mid afternoon we sailed under the tail edge of a newly developing low which gave lots of rain and no wind (had to motor for a couple of hours whilst the boat got a wash). Then the sea state calmed down and we had a beautiful easy reach overnight with no clouds and an almost full moon. This morning we managed to get the cruising chute out of its bag for the first time on this trip and are heading to St Lucia in bright sunshine at 6+ kts.
Interesting observations :- during Rach's watch a bunch of small fish got washed onto the deck that had to be returned. Also we saw a lobster pot which we assumed must be adrift as its 4 miles deep here.
On the domestic front its an ideal day for some clothes washing and sun bathing.
Distance to run = 460 miles so Saturday Jazz is still possible although boats up ahead are motoring in no wind.
