Atlantic Ocean
20.29.529N
71.05.257W


After listening to the weather report this morning, we knew that we could either go the Great Sand Cay and anchor for an hour or two before departing for Luperon, or we could anchor overnight and sail the next afternoon. What we decided to do, as you can see from our location, is just to leave Ambergrist later in the morning and motor sail up to Great Sand Cay but instead of pulling in, we'll just keep on going to Luperon making it a full overnight passage. We anticipate 10-15 kts of wind from the ENE which should be perfect sailing weather.

The champagne we were chilling for New Years Eve was pulled out of the refrigerator and wrapped back up in the bubble wrap for safe keeping. We'll drink it after we reach Luperon. Next year will dawn with us in a new harbor, in a new country and definitely a major step south.
