E3: I Sail Solo from St. John to St. Martin, Experiencing Lightning and Strong Headwinds

I am a 27-year-old female solo sailor beginning my circumnavigation. My boat is a 27 foot sloop named Gecko. Follow me on my journey as I learn about heavy-weather sailing, the trials of being solo, and my adventures in paradise. This week I sail overnight from St. John’s bashing into headwinds to arrive at St. Martin the following evening.
