Off to St Martin

AFter a couple of days' relaxation at Cooper Island and Jost Van Dyke we are heading East, back to Virgin Gorda and, depending on the wind, will leave soon for St Martin. Ideally we get a day where the trades blow north of east, which gives us an angle to sail rather than motor to St Martin. Bob and Matt Glaser have left and are on their way back to Florida; and we picked up our good friend and outstanding crewman Dave Hornbach (IP35 Eau de Vie) at Nanny Cay and he will be with us for a week or two. Dave had a good trip down from Virginia on the Arc Caribbean 1500 on Starburst, a Hallberg Rassy 43, homeport Annapolis. Best to all, John and Nancy, with Dave.
