December 6th
Pilar Rossi and Cruise ShipPilar Rossi and Cruise Ship 2The day began at 7am after another rough night at anchor, this time because the swell worked its way around the bay and the wind shifted enough so that the boat was lying partially beam-to the wind and occasionally rolled enough to be uncomfortable in a big bed. Even after making coffee and working on the computer, the Link10 shows that I only used 30Amps over 24 hours, I'm getting much better at managing electrical energy and the strong wind has done a lot to replenish the energy used. I motored into Gustavia again, both to replenish the batteries and to check out of St. Barths prior to heading to St. Martin tomorrow morning. I passed a very large and cool looking trimaran called Pilar Rossi again and finally got some good pictures.
I spent another couple of hours getting rid of more oxidized gel coat on the decks, making a bit of progress. The dinghy is now on the deck and the engine on the back of the boat and I'll be ready to head out tomorrow after a coffee or two.
