We set off at sunrise (well, perhaps a bit later as we were a bit slow getting underway) and the conditions were spirited. The wind direction was perfect and we made very good speed despite reefs in both sails, but the seas were building noticeably during the trip and neither Wanita nor Shaun were feeling great so I opted not to set more sail. We arrived in the lee of St. Barths in good time to anchor in Anse Colombier for the night with the “Q” flag up. We all felt better upon anchoring and made another BBQ to celebrate the successful passage from Antigua and in anticipation of a fast trip up to St. Martin the next morning.
