And Then There Was Four... Destination Antigua!

In the sweltering heat of Saint Martin Cynthia and Serge are joined by Daniel and revisited by Terry. They plan to join up with four others for the annual Antigua Sailing week. However, the matter at hand is making the 110 nautical mile crossing from Saint Martin to Antigua. Will the wind be friend or foe? All indicators say foe.

The late night start proves to be a bit rough and a decision was made to take safe harbor in Saint Bartholomey which is approximately 15 nautical miles from Saint Martin. In daylight we would be better able to navigate through the wave action.

We set out and 15 hours later we dropped anchor in Antigua
