Had the most fantastic trip around the Soufriere area. Waterfalls, zipliner, botanical gardens among other delights!

St Lucia at last, after a rough and wet stage directly from Bequia. Weather forecast: ESE 10-15 knots and sunny. Reality: NE 25-30 with heavy rain showers.

Too bad we couldn’t use the cuttersail, as I’m overhauling its chain plate at the moment. That’s why we chose to go on that forecast in the first place. Unfortunately,  we ripped the genoa from the tack corner and up about a meter in the luff. I guess the sailmaker in Rodney Bay will get busy one of these days.

Anyway, waking up to this view makes it worth while after all, don’t you think?

Allic is doing a great job with the chute on his day off… I’m just helping out 🙂

View towards Union Island.
Feeling a bit tired after beach party on Petit Bateau in Tobago Cays last night. Albin jumped over to german yacht “Sea Below” earlier today. Still suspect we’ll be bumping into him later.
Fair winds!

Really relaxing here! 🙂

Sailed around the East coast of Grenada, sharing memories from 32 years ago, only to drop into the Carnival at Carriacou!
