Crazy Horse - start toward Ft. Lauderdale



Here we are out in the Caribbean Sea and soon to be in the Atlantic just south of Tobago Island. We left a little after Karina and Lone Star is close on our heels. Can't see Mystic Shadow or Windswept. They may have a couple hours start on us. There is no race on this rally but those who know sailors realize the humor in that comment. We hope to have a peaceful calm ride back to Ft. Lauderdale. But we are at the mercy of the wind, sea state, and weather. We are making 8 or 9 SOG.We have a wing and wing sail formation. There is a gentle rocking motion and the Crazy Horse is finding her sea legs. The rest of us just hang on!

We had a nice farewell last night at the beach barbecue with great food and a wonderful blend of reggae, rock and pop music. We turned in rather early in prep of the start.

I have two pork loins marinating in the frig. One has a mango salsa bath and the other a ginger, soy bath. We will see which is the most popular. Both will function as a lunchmeat fare. Lunchmeat on the island is so expensive we are trying another healthier version. We will keep you up to date on our food fare since that is our favorite distraction underway.

I have my music ready to go on the ipad and my book already started. I did take a bonine tab as I usually do on the first day to adjust to the movement. So far things look good. We are excited to finally be on our way back to the Chesapeake.
