Amaris Sails the World

Anegada, British Virgin Islands

April 15, 2014

Round and round she goes...  Where she stops nobody knows!

Anegada is BEAUTIFUL.  Of course had lobster (everyone that has been here is asking us-well, me as we all know Lobster is not part of Shawn's "balanced diet."

Sadly, we need to start heading back south.  Anegada will serve as our northern most point in our cruising of the Caribbean chain.  Typically, when people make the turn, they wait for a weather window where as winds either are calm, or blow from the north to prevent a beat into the wind all the way back to St Martin (90 miles to windward).  We are not so lucky to get a northerly wind - and I am too cheap to pay for fuel to motor all the way to St Martin.

And so we sail!  Our intention is to leave this evening.  We will split the overnight watch between the two of us and point as high as we can to the wind.  We anticipate being able to make Guadeloupe, but fingers crossed, we may even hit Saba.  An island we both loved...  at at only 100 miles, we would love it again (it is about 100 miles closer than Guadeloupe!

Tune in shortly for the dramatic conclusion of the sail!  How exiting to go sailing and not even know where we are going.
