It was one of those days. Our electric winch decided to stop working and our wind sensors failed. It was a good exercise in figuring out sail trim the manual way and raising sails the slow way. Our forecasted wind never seemed to show. It was almost all motor sailing. We went so close to Cuba we were waving at fisherman. Right about when we realized we wouldn't make it before immigration and customs closed the wind and waves came up. We were surfing down waves and hitting 11 knots and back to 8 in between. We made it and got checked into Jamaica during a down pour. It feels good to be in a new country! šÆš²ā„ļøšÆš²
