Guadeloupe, sailing from Dominica

Left Dominica at 8 in the morning.
Pretty strong winds, and after getting out of shelter from the island, we had about 10 m/s winds. Plenty for our ship. And excellent speed according to the boys. Around 6.5 knots average speed.

I had a little taste of the big waves. Well, the skipper said they were "only 2 metres high" didn't get seasick, so feel pretty good about sailing at the moment. Crossing the Atlantic might be a different story though :-)

I'm also getting pretty confident with the dingi - taxing crew members on land or to the ship.

We are ankering at Basse-Terre on Guadeloupe. This first night might be a bit rough. Strong winds, and some waves.
But didn't sleep much last night with around 30 degrees in the cabin, and an early start. I "slept" the last two hours in the cockpit. But winds and rain made it hard. So I think this night will go easy cause of the lack of sleep.

we arrived in Basse-Terre at 1PM. Much sooner than expected. This gave us time for a good walk around in the city. Strange with everything in French now, and European standards again. Only one island away from the poor, but wonderful Dominica. I already find the poor islands much more interesting than the rich ones.

it's 10 PM now. Rasmus is finishing his homework. Jakob is sewing his sandals in the cockpit, where I'm enjoying some quiet time.
The rest of the crew is already in bed after the long day.
