Excitement in the wind As the wind continued to blow we made our way to the limited, rock and rolly shelter behind Clifton Harbour's reef at Union Island. Regrettably a gear stripped in our Lewmar (don't buy one) windlass. The result of this mechanical failure is that Barry has the dirty and daunting chore of physically lifting up to 160 feet of chain off the bottom every time we move. On February 22, 2009 in less than 4 hours Barry lifted 70 feet of chain 3 times, once in the strong current between the Tobago Cays islands and twice in the cramped Clifton Harbour anchorage (as a result of dragging and an hour-glass in the genoa sail). All three times in 25-30 knot wind. We took a couple of days off from "the wind" and toured Clifton Harbour. We enjoyed viewing the sharks in their pool, at the hotel, adjacent to the harbour. We also sampled some fresh produce that was available at the island's many colourful stands. Wi-fi worked well at Union Island; always a great distraction in bad weather.
