27th May 17.44

Finally underway. Sailed halfway to St Lucia this morning and back to
Martinique gaining all of about 3 miles to windward. The current, seas and
wind all deny any eastward travel. Finally motorsailed tacking quite close
inshore to Martinique and now heading about 10deg leaving Martinique to
disappear into the haze. Bye bye Caribbean.

Wet boat. Not nice. Bilges half full from bow living under water too much
and sea coming in hawse pipe for anchor chain. Leaky porthole in forepeak so
that´s getting soaked now as well. Enough. Antigua under 100 miles away, I´m
off there to make a dry boat!
