From Rodney Bay St. Lucia to Le Marin, Martinique in 25 knts winds and bigger waves.
Exciting short sail - just 24nm but so, so much fun!! A bit bumpy on the close haul/close reach course and with 2-3m incoming waves, but fun nevertheless! I've used the mainsail with one reef and full self-tacking inner staysail. Happy to finally get "Mirage" to Amel dock in Martinique, where the Team will do a few little repairs and prepare the boat for the next phase of our adventure. 0:00 Intro 0:58 About the island of St. Lucia 2:45 Off the fuel dock 3:38 Sails are set! 10:07 "Diamond" 13:42 Leopard 50 catamaran in waves 15:11 Approach to Martinique 15:33 Tacking with autopilot 16:40 Tacking manually 18:33 Approach to Du Marin harbor 19:12 At Amel pier in marina Le Marin P.S.
