Third pass along the Lesser Antilles (Virgins, Leeward & Windward Islands)
Five days after our return to Culebra a weather window opened to allow us to make progress in an east direction and we set sail on our way back along the island chain to summer once again in Trinidad.
Before leaving, in preparation for our passages, Barry did an oil change on our diesel and changed the fuel filters. We filled the fuel, water and propane; did the laundry and provisioned. As well, Barry purchased and repaired a broken 1979 6.5 hp Johnson outboard thus putting an end to the dinghy rowing for the moment.
We were delighted to spend time with our friends that we met in Grenada last year, Gary & Sharon (boat - Elusive) as they stopped in Culebra for 2 days on their way west (north).
