A long day yesterday, but the seas were near perfect, the winds picked up so we motorsailed at 7 knots a good part of the time. But we started seeing squalls in the afternoon and after a hot debate (I wanted to go on I must confess) we took what I think now was the right decision and anchored for the night in Pittstown, the westernmost side of the Crooked Islands. this meant we had to come in at night (past 7 pm) but we had anchored here before and followed our waypoints. We had several squalls go through during the night and Juan did not sleep too well, I did. All in all we did over 90 miles, so not bad.
Idette and Mike have been looking at our weather forecast and it should be 20 knots until midday and then we'll be sucking sonoodles all the way to Long Island, hopefully Cape Santa Maria or Rum Cay if we fall short. So no overnights for the time being.
