Sailing the edge of the sea

Sunny skies, winds easterly to 12 knots with an occasional gust from the south. Sea Child is sailing from the main island of Puerto Rico to the east and the island of Culebra. Our friends, Kiko & Francoise, told us about a regatta this weekend in Culebra, so we decided why not?? Culebra is located between St. Thomas and Puerto Rico proper. From the charts it appears to have sweeping deserted beaches and an abundance of coral reefs.

We expect our sail from Cayo Lobos to Culebra to take us about two hours. However, the winds have shifted out of the south, which has us tacking across the union of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea. Sailing at 9 knots, though, who can complain?? Once we get proper Internet access we will post more photos. Stay tuned.
