We got up this morning and got underway. We were playing it cautiously and decided to head for Carriacou. That lasted all of 20 minutes because it was so beautiful out; we quickly changed our destination to St. Georges, Grenada. The wind was 15 knots right on the beam and the seas were right around 3 feet.
We motorsailed to just past Carriacou where we did the 'happy happy joy joy' dance. We are officially 'below the insurance box' for hurricane season! We wanted to make sure that we would make landfall during daylight. However, as soon as we knew we would be fine, we cut the engines off and sailed at 6 knots almost all the way to St. Georges! This brings us to 14 times under sail alone.
We dropped anchor outside St. Georges harbor and spent the evening celebrating with good liquor and Cuban cigars. 'Twas a glorious evening!
