Arriving at Turtle Bay

Finished the first leg at 10:56a. Now it's time to rest, clean up, and relax in Turtle Bay. That, and see if the dinghy motor still works (fingers crossed).

Dinghy Douche

Closing in on our first stop, Turtle Bay, after two nights at sea. No casualties except maybe the dinghy motor. It was stowed in the bottom of the dinghy, which was lashed upright on the netting between the main hull and the ama, and we swamped it by shipping a wave through the net.

Daybreak

Paul at the helm at daybreak.
The wind improved considerably on Tuesday, allowing us to make up some time on those who motored continuously right from the start. It held strong through the night.
