Along the coast

Image
Last night LinoCat dropped anchor after having an unpleasant ride from Martinique. The wind was still to southerly and so we had to motor for 2 hours against wind and waves. Since we owed the Sparkle Laundry in Rodney bay some money we decided to stop there, pay them and then sleep there. So here we are the next morning and continue to drive south towards Grenada. Another 130 miles to go. Maybe we stop in Bequia or maybe we directly sail to Grenada. The wind is currently only 8 knots and so we sail a lousy 3-4 knots with sometimes the wind slowing down and then we have to use the engine. Let´s see how it goes. As we are crusing along St Lucia coast there is often an open WifI spot which we can use. In the picture you can see the UNICORN, a boat based in Rodney bay. It could be seen in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" and also "Roots".
