Ep 158 Boat Projects, Launching Talisman, Perfect Passage from Antigua to Sint Maarten

This episode isn't too complicated. We prep the boat for launch with a long list of projects to complete. We ride out a Cat 1 hurricane (Tammy), then it's back to work. Our new drone gives us some impressive footage as I learn to fly it. It's a new DJI Mini 3, and it's smaller and lighter than our old Phantom 3 that wouldn't accept new firmware and was therefore useless to us. Once in the water we celebrate with a pre-passage Mexican dinner at La Cantina in Jolly Harbour Marina. Perhaps a risky choice prior to a decent passage, but we did have three crew (including us), and no ill effects followed. Finally, we depart at 4:00am for an absolutely beautiful downwind run to Dutch Sint Maarten.
