Ep 39. Sailing Anguilla to BVI & Valentines on a Desert Island

Ep 39. Those of you guys who have been following for a while will know about our issues with our Gennaker. More precisely, that bloody sail has been a nightmare for us that culminated in the middle of the Atlantic when it split into 2 halves. The sail loft in Saint Martin were great and pointed out to us that we've been flying it back to front the whole time since we started sailing! Apparently, the luff of the sail should be the longer edge. We've also now installed it in a sock as the sail isn't really suitable to be used with a furler as it doesn't have a torsion rope. After getting all our jobs done in Saint Martin, we clear out of customs and set sail for the British Virgin Islands with a cheeky little stop off on a deserted little island called Dog Island as it leaves us with a nice day light sail to get to BVI. After a romantic Valentines day and night as the only boat anchored on Dog Island, we set off for BVI. We were expecting a 12 hour sail but with 20kt winds off our starboard quarter we were flying. We managed 12kts in flat seas as we approached Richard Branson's island called Necker which unfortunately I didn't get on camera so you'll have to take my word for it. We've got our act together at long last and are planning to have a new episode uploaded for you every Sunday morning. Check back next week where we start exploring the amazing British Virgin Islands.
