St. Martin to British Virgin Islands


May 17, 2014

We cleared customs yesterday and left the nasty lagoon at St. Martin and went into the bay.  It was a lot more rolly, but it was definitely clean water!  We were getting positioned to leave early in the morning for the British Virgin Islands (BVIs).  Daniel worked on scrubbing and cleaning the yukky sledge and filth off of C-Time from the week we stayed in the lagoon.  I did some cooking, getting ready for the upcoming voyage.
We left at 2:00 a.m. this morning from St. Martin and had about 15 knot winds with 2-3 foot waves.  Not bad, not bad at all!  We had the sails up for 11 hours straight, until the winds died down to 5-10 knots.  We ended up motoring the rest of the way to the BVIs.  It’s taken us about 16 hours to get here.  We are tired, going to drop the anchor and get some rest.
