Today the breeze softened a bit and the OA jumped on it sending us around the island first thing this morning. The sea state offshore was still pretty sporty and reaching through it made it a hyper focus exercise. Laura let me drive that one and I'm not sure who got the better deal.

After lunch they sent us on a short distance race around a rock on the northeast end of the island. Our trip was uneventful but it seems every race there at least two boats with significant damage. St Barthelemy is a tough place to sail when the breeze is on and it's supposed to be on for the rest of the week.
