Martinique to Dominica

Left Martinique at 11. Skipper had to out declare us from Martinique. Meanwhile some of us stayed back on the ship, preparing to leave.
I did about one and a half hour of steering. Pretty straight forward job when on open ocean.
Not much wind today, so the engine was helping all day.
Also giving the crew a chance to charge they're their electrical gear.
The trip took about 8 hours. Plenty of time for fishing, looking at the view, talking, playing with the kids, sunbathing, drinking coffee, reading, sleeping and so on....
In Dominica a man in a speedboat wanted to show us a place to anchor. We those our own place though.
While checking the anchor place Lea was already preparing dinner.
The skipper went on land, and came back with a handful  of beers. After hours in the sun, a swim in the ocean, an ice cold beer was sooooo nice.
Now, it's 20:30. The big boys are watching a movie on the laptop. Lea is putting Tor to bed - probably both sleeping.
The rest of the crew is on the deck enjoying the "cold" evening.
Downstairs, where I'm sleeping, the temperature is about 29 degrees now.
Last night was pretty rough. Even for the experienced sailors. No one got seasick, but you don't sleep much when the ship is rolling as last night. Tonight, the sea is calm, so everyone are looking forward to a quite night.
