As planned we woke up this morning and prepared to got ready to head to St. Georges to check out of customs there. We were held up for about an hour by a sailing school who had set up their course right over our anchor! By 11 we were on our way and by 1 we were to St. Georges where we had a final lunch with Susan and Munir. After lunch and goodbyes we refueled and refilled our water tanks, cleared out of customs and were on our way by 3:30.
We enjoyed another beautiful sunset at sea and have settled in with our books for the evening. The first passage was a really interesting passage in terms of coexisiting in such a small space. Out to sea Walid and I fell into very separate routines. We sat in different parts of the boat to read, took turns being below and above deck, ate breakfast and lunch separatly having only dinner together. Some days we found we wouldn't say a word to each other until dinner. We never felt cramped or in each others way and were really looking forward to getting under way for the next passage. (which should take 5-7 days.)
We have decided to change our first stop from St. Barthes to Anguilla which is 50 miles closer instead of heading to St. Barthes than backtracking to Anguilla and St. Maartin we will hit those 2 islands first.
Good night!
