It's been a while since I posted and update. Sorry about that. On Sunday I left Statia and sailed to St. Maarten. Actually "sailed" is probably not the right word. I left the mooring at 0700 and motor sailed from under the lee of Statia and then shut down the engine. Sailing was good for about 2 hours with autohelm working perfectly on a beam reach. Then the wind dropped and dropped and finally died almost completely. That left six hours of motoring to St. Maarten. I arrived in Simpsons Bay around 4:30 and entered the lagoon at the 5:30 bridge opening.
On Wednesday I flew home to Canada for a short visit. Due to some issues in the flights I didn't get in until mid afternoon on Thursday. Now it is April 1 and I am sitting in JFK airport waiting for my next connection on the way back to St. Maarten.
This weekend Stuart and Mark arrive from Halifax. We will hang out in St. Maarten for a few days and then do an overnight passage to the BVIs.
