Excellent stuff. Some squalls
Seemed to speed up a fair bit during this trip..
@leadingtheescapade see you in Inagua!! Race to the bar!!
Spent a wonderful week in San Blas waiting for a weather window and doing the last bit of passage prep! What a place to do passage prep. Next stop Bahamas! 🇧🇸
We braaied last night and swam today. Passage finally feels like an Argonaut adventure and not a miserable beat upwind. This morning we broke out the Code 0 and Ben baked fresh bread for egg, bacon and cheese sandwiches. All is well in the world. Except for Alex’s finger which got sliced whilst doing dishes. Jury is out on whether it was an accident or if she’d just had enough of dishes.
What a long passage this has been! And it’s only been a week. Tonight we braai! 🥩
This evening brings the end of our first night of downwind sailing on this passage. The first few days saw us beating and the fourth night we were on high alert as we skirted the Nicaraguan pirates. And so a treat was in order! Last year when we were a few hundred miles up the Amazon we discovered the recipe for Bailey’s wasn’t so complicated and more importantly that we had all the ingredients in the cupboard/bilges/under our beds. The consumption of Bailey’s on board increased rapidly thereafter.
