Azurite
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Currently crewing Azurite, sailing around the Caribbean for the winter with eyes on a Panama crossing. Looking to meet people and make some connections along the way! Bonus points if you can teach me to spearfish
Nice trip to the society’s. Better wind and seas than expected made for a quick trip
A slow sail to Fakarava to catch the 8:45am low tide. Showed up an hour and a half early and got slack tide. Sailed with just a headsail to keep it slow. Saw 30kts of wind when the forecast was supposed to be 16. Very rolly. Caught two ~25lb yellowfins on handlines
We left the Marqueses with a light wind forecast of 3 days. Had a slow start but picked up significant wind day 2. Potentially could have sped up the boat to shave a day off the trip, but to be certain of making the atoll pass on time we ended up slowing down significantly. Turns out Azurite is a hard boat to slow down and even with a deeply reefed main and stay sail we had a really hard to getting under 4kts. Caught a monster yellowfin tuna we estimated to be -150lbs. Happy to be in the Atolls and eating sushi
