It began as an ordinary day of running errands, filling cooking gas bottles, with our friend John (ex SV Paws) but suddenly everything changed. Why? While we were in a car shop buying oil John shared an email he had been passed from a cruiser who subscribes to Chris Parker’s weather routing service.
We’re waiting for a favourable forecast to sail 400nm north east from Curacao to any island near Antigua. The forecast John showed us declared departure tomorrow would be ‘the best opportunity’ between now and January. Who are we to disagree?
When we were back on Jackster in the early afternoon we checked the latest forecast and agreed it was time to move quick, quick. All we really needed to do was clear out with the office in Spanish Water channel, stow the dinghy and we’d be ready.
