After a tumultuous 24 hours followed by a period of calm we eased into our sailing prowess utilizing only the spinnaker to maximize the wind’s potential. This slowly but surely eats away at our miles towards our objective of St Lucia. Being an unforgiving sail in the wrong conditions, and it being not an easy decision, we took the courageous step to sail with it through the night under the Yoda-like guidance of Richard a leading skipper of Oyster Yachts. During our daily strategy discussion we considered lightening the load by having our resident recovering alcoholic Ortwin (rip van winkle) drinking all the beer but quickly dismissed this thought as we would have to undertake his watches (more than usual) ;)
