Hot
It is quite hot inside the boat. Without the cooling effect of water below, the temperature inside shoots up, and if the breeze dies, it is like a sauna aboard.
Since everything had been removed from the forward cabin, I used the opportunity to clean everything up. I wanted to do more, but the oppressive heat kept me from continuing, and I can’t wait to have Zanshin splashed so that I can get to the fun part of sailing!
Ashore
The Atlantic Dash rowers have arrived in Antigua. If you think that sailing around the world in a 19-footer is tough, imagine crossing over 3000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean with 4 people aboard this thing!
This is going to be the committee boat for the Antigua Racing Cup this year. She’s already at the docks and awaiting us!
