Location: On Passage to BVI
Today, we sadly departed from St. Barts and began our overnight voyage home to the British Virgin Islands. We started our sail at around 3:30 pm, and the first shift was Claire, Z, and Dasha. Each shift was 3 hours, and each person drove for around an hour. At around 6, Carson, Zoe and Sloane took over the helm while claire and z took naps on the side of the boat. It was a very sleepy sail, and most interactions were limited to waking each other up to begin each shift. At 9:00, Jack, Adnan, Pete, and Derek took over the wheel while everyone else slept. We charted our voyage on the map until Sloane accidentally ripped it. (Not many people complained about this.) The total sail time is about 21 hours, from 3:30 pm Wednesday to hopefully 10 am Thursday. To end the day off, we had broccoli and cheese pasta. Everyone surprisingly enjoyed this, and was a great way to end the day, especially with the excitement to return ‘home’ with the other boats tomorrow!
