Peace at last!

The past few weeks have been everything from ho-hum to downright explosive! Ho-hum is pretty self explanatory, explosive would be what happens when the clew tears right off the jib, the foot and leech open wide, and you still have 11 miles to make harbour in a 35knot blow and rather large steep seas! Just another day sailing in the caribbean during hurricane season! The sail got pieced back together, and (so far) has managed to hold together through a few more 30knot squalls. I guess my sewing skills are better than I thought. Had a wonderful sail today from Martinique down to Saint Lucia. Double reefed and partially furled headsail saw us romping along at 9-12knots in 6-8' seas. Quite exhilerating. Now we sit anchored in Rodney Bay, drink in hand and swing about in 15+ knots of wind. Seems awfully calm after today's rollicking sail. Nice to be still. Greatly saddened to hear of the mess along the shores of the gulf, chin up, we're not dead yet.

Cheers
