Tough sail ahead

Early start today. After a smooth and sound night's sleep in Deshaies, Guadeloupe, we again awoke early. Elizabeth was roused and offered a Stugeron and James blasted to the jetty to pick up our last French patisserie for a while. Now we're making ready for the tough eight hour leg to Antigua. The forecast suggests we should just make it on one tack but it will be hard on the wind all the way in 2m waves.
