On Monday, December 16th, we set out for St. Croix. The forecast was for 20-25, with gusts to 30 on a close reach. We've sailed across OCEANS! 50 miles in a strong breeze? No problem. We got about 5 miles offshore and decided pounding into heavy seas, in rain squalls, didn't seem like much fun. Especially since we only had 3 days to go to St Croix and get back to the BVI. So we tacked around Buck Island and headed for St John. Much closer, and more sheltered.
I have to admit. I felt like I had wimped out. Had all the sunny days in paradise made me soft? A question for another day, perhaps.
