On Passage

Ocho Rios to Tres Puntas

A lovely passage, downwind, spinnaker got some use, many dolphins, and even whales. Ended in a heavy wind and rain storm.

Lovely sail most of the way – plenty of “boom” waves which the boys enjoy. Also some scary lightning.

Slow but wonderful sail for our first passage in a year! Caught a Mahi Mahi (yum), and saw a whale breaching repeatedly on the way out of Samana. Great trip.

Beautiful sail, and best of all saw humpbacks on the way into Samana Bay! We all love night sailing.

Roseau to Portsmouth

Watch out for the wind accelerating down the valleys – with a 15 knot forecast we saw 35 knot gusts. Good fun.

Bad: Autopilot belt snapped again. Dave ripped the sail. Good: Found a kelp crab. Kept on sailing.
