Actually a third nasty and two thirds OK, because we left from Caneel Bay and while we were on the lee of St Thomas and the big rock that lies to its West we did well in spite of the strong winds. But then our main got ripped at one of the seams (so it should not be too difficult to mend) and the seas started to grow. By the time we made Culebra the waves were over ten feet. We had already decided to go in to get the sail down, but when we actually made it we were tired, so we tied to a mooring ball in the mooring field that lies at the entrance to Culebra, behind the reef, had lunch and had a great nap.
Then Sandra and I decided to shower, she went first but when my turn came, and I was all lathered, we ran out of water! We had not had any problems so far but I think when Juan filled the tank in Spanish Town he miscalculated. He did not wait for the water to actually overflow and/or did not realize the tank was empty. Thank god I had not yet put shampoo on my hair or I would have had an itchy night!!
Tomorrow we have a three hour ride to Fajardo, it's going to be just as windy or more and just as wavy or more but hopefully we will not rip the jib
