Quick Update....

Persephone is currently moored under the Twin Pitons of St. Lucia.  The sail from SVG to St. Lucia was aggressive with winds averaging 25-28 knots with gusts to 32 knts (Read: very windy).  Waves were between 6 and 10 feet, which frequently broke over the boat.   One particularly large wave submerged the boat and my mouth flopped open as I watched green water wash down the companionway stairs flooding the galley.  (I should have known better to keep the hatch boards in.....dumb !!)  But during the fury, I was able to pull in a nice 12 +  pound yellow fin tuna.  Sushi anyone ??

Next blog....how Persephone sailed into Port Royal Sound in search of  the "Pirates of the Caribbean"...but you will have to wait !
