We took our time getting out of Sainte-Anne and I later realized I was in trouble. I did bad math and I don’t think we’re going to make it in time for my job interview. Oh well, guess I’ll focus on the sailing.
Except that we got absolutely pounded by rain before I finished my first watch. Wow!
Friday, December 20
Long night of high winds on a reach with a couple of random die-outs that left us at the mercy of the pitiless waves. As we came into the Dominica channel, it turned rather nerve-wracking again. Neither of us slept well so I’m hoping for some napping.
Birds are cool. I enjoyed the last hour of my 6-9 watch with a couple of what I think were brown boobies, one adult and one immature. It really felt like they were either showing off for me or teasing me by doing the coolest things when I wasn’t pointing my phone at them.
Still cool.
