Made It!


We just finished the 170 nautical miles from Virgin Gorda to Antigua!

The dreaded Anegada Passage was a bit salty, but not too bad. Nobody got sea sick, either on Symbiosis or on buddy boat Utopia.

Caught our biggest barracuda to date -- we estimate 4.5' -- but were too busy to take a picture. I managed to save our lure (not to mention my fingers) as well as the fish by deftly removing the hook and letting him swim free.

Sometime Wednesday evening the traveler on our staysail boom chaffed through and crashed to leeward. It scared the hell out of us for a few seconds until we realized what had happened. It turned out to be a relatively easy fix.

Otherwise, smooth (motor) sailing!

  2. Thanks, Danielle. Sunday looks pretty decent for the Anegada. We are going to Guadeloupe next and then probably hop down to Dominica at the next opportunity -- which is probably middle of next week.
