Tyrell Bay Carriacou Grenada to Le Marin Martinique

155nm after arrival..
Started with an hour of making turns etc to get autopilot reset, and it works better then before now..  perfect..

Then a nice sail with 15 knots, sometimes 20 and behind the islands nothing..  Running Merc mildly with still cooling problems (know and have parts of solution, will try replacing copper inner works of cooler without new set of rubbers..) got Condor through those..
Behind St Lucia thus nice time to get max height with the iron sail in the no wind part be cause whole trip was sailing max close to the wind..  With my big genoe on that is 39degrees to the wind and still doing 5.5-7+knots depending on wind strength..
Had good internet here so I could live follow Max win F1 Malaysia..  Nice..

So left 1000 and arrived day later at 1100, 6kn average..  good
Anchored in the 'marina' near Kim, and there are plenty more then 1000 yacht around me here btw..  big..  If Cat5 hits this....
And btw only one small Yard here, is still a mistory to me..
And the promised Appeltaart was put in the oven when I was in sight, so nice taart when I was there, Bas joint the 54 club, although he later said he was 0f year 64..  so 53.. Then put awning up, had sleep, and nice dinner etcetc.. of course the gate was closed when we came back to our dinghies, but here a 12 year old comes in handy, Kim climbed the fence and got our dinghies to us.. Perfect..

 Dinghy repaired and Laser back on deck..
 Bey Tyrell Bay, with nice Slipway restaurant and Sally's Galley during the day..
