Misto - April12-13 2019: Finished at last!

It’s with a huge sense of achievement that Misto is back in Rodney Bay and we have celebrated the official end of the World Arc.The parade of sail from Marigot Bay to Rodney Bay was a little challenging in high blustery winds and the circuit around Castries Harbour had to be abandoned due to the late entry of a cruise ship.But we all arrived safely in Rodney Bay and the celebrations began.Drinks on the dock and a great evening celebration heralded the end of this odyssey.It certainly begs the question “what next?”We are planning a summer sailing with our club in North Carolina, the Neuse Sailing Association, a winter in South Africa, boat maintenance and then joining ARC Europe next May.But as some friends from WARC 2017 said, our plans are written in the sand at low tide.To everyone we. read more...

Misto - April 5-11 2019: Tobago Cays, Mustique and St Lucia

We spent a very bumpy day and night at Tobago Cays.It really is a most beautiful spot where you can anchor behind the reef with nothing else between your boat and Africa, but on this occasion it was not comfortable.In the company of Anita and Steve from Timshel we dinghied to the beach, had a picnic lunch and snorkeled in the turtle area.However visibility was not very clear as the waves were disturbing the sand.After a very uncomfortable night we departed early for Mustique, however with the angle of the wind we ended up putting into Canuan for a few hours hoping that the afternoon wind would swing around a little and ease.In the afternoon, with two reefs in, we managed to sail over to Mustique.Mustique is a private island made famous by Princess Margaret in the 1960’s and 70’s. Now it. read more...

Misto - March 28-April 4 2019: Good to be back in the Caribbean

From Port Louis marina we went around the south of Grenada to Grenada Marine services to get some work done on the engines, fuel and generator.We spent three nights there and got most of the hoped for work completed. We decided to give the anchorages on the south of Grenada a miss as they seemed too full of boats and made our way to Sandy Island.This spit of sand and palm trees is just off Hillsborough the main town on Carriocou.It was a windy sail from Grenada to the island of Carriocou with wind “bullets” coming down off the land and gusting up to 26 knots. The wind was kicking up a bit of a fetch but we stayed two nights on a mooring here at Sandy Island before going around the Tyrell Bay.Here we enjoyed a great meal at Lambi Queen, took a taxi tour around the island and tried to. read more...

Misto - March 25-27 2019: a great end to the last leg of WARC

We have enjoyed the last couple of days based here at the Port Louis marina. We have done a little more exploring, provisioned and got our repaired gennaker back. Last night was a great prize giving party and we were so proud to win this last leg (multihull division).This has truly been a great experience - and of course it’s not quite over yet. Every country and island has had something different to offer and the insights into different cultures have been amazing and,sometimes, humbling. From a sailing perspective we have learnt that we enjoy the camaraderie of a rally and really appreciate the administrative support at each stop over- so we will be back for more rallies without a doubt!. read more...

Misto - March 16-24 2019: On to Grenada

It was a great, fast passage to Grenada from Iles du Salut. That is, right until the last 75 nm. We rounded to “safety mark” set by WCC and the wind, now dead astern, died on us. This meant that we arrived just after 8 am on March 20 - I suppose that it at least meant we arrived in daylight. After tying up on the super yacht dock for a few hours and checking in we were moved to our berth. It’s a lovely marina, close to the town of St George, and convenient for most things. We have rented a car - but I have to admit that you take your life in your hands driving here and we will certainly not be driving at night. In a couple of outings we have pretty much gone right around this volcanic and mountainous island. The center is full of beautiful rain forest, the east coast is somewhat battered. read more...
