Bareboat sailing in the Leeward Islands


Joining a crew of 7 welsh lads, and my father-in-law, on board a Sun Odyssey 51, Coquet, the plan was to sail from St. Maarten to Antigua, taking 2 weeks to do so.  The wife came as galley slave, while I funded the adventure and acted as "competent crew".
Sailing via St. Barts, Saba, Statia, St. Kitts, &  Nevis, we covered around 175 Nm, mainly day sailing, but with a couple of night passages, where I did my turn on watch.
