We left the anchorage at St. Martin at 6:20AM this morning (June 6th)and are on our way! The first couple of hours were slow going as we had some high waves and winds 18-22K but on the nose. Once we got to the east end of Anguilla we were able to turn north and we picked up speed and the ride has been more comfortable. We now are averaging about 6.5 knots of speed and are north of Puerto Rico. The weather is good, winds are 17-19knots with waves only about 4 feet. All in all a good start to our trip.
In the 11 hours we have been traveling we have covered 65 nautical miles. Our plan is to continue heading north (heading 00 degrees) for the next day or two before we can veer east. All on board are doing well - even Sailor got up and moved to our bed from the floor which is her normal "safe" spot.
Will keep you posted.
Current position at 5:15PM local time: 19.07.56 N, 63.11.52 W
