Hitting the water running

Current Location: Great Harbor, Jost van Dyke
Lat/Lon: anchored just in front of Foxy's (everybody knows where Foxy's is!)
Air Temp: 80°F Sea Temp: 80°F
Weather: Moonlit

Our first charter is going amazingly well. I fixed a few things on the boat that really needed fixing, and Tara fixed some great meals that got really eaten. We logged 25 miles of sailing today (from Anegada to Jost van Dyke) and went SCUBA diving twice, including a stop at the wreck of the Chikuzen! Setting up the boat was fun (Tara got to shop for her herb garden) and Hypnautic looks GREAT. We have done some fantastic diving already, and we rigged the absolutely MASSIVE gennaker for the downwind run. Here is a picture of Tara dwarfed by sail area. INCONCEIVABLE!!!

  1. It's kind of hard to tell if you're working hard or hardly working Tara. Hopefully Sasha doesn't notice....

  2. Ha, Paradise! It's chilly here, but visiting your site is very warming. Will there be photos of the herb garden?
