Location: Nevis and Underway to Grenada
Today, we woke up and had a delicious homemade pancake breakfast with and without blueberries. Then we put up the mainsail, staysail, and jib sail and headed for Grenada. We started our watch teams at 9 am, three teams each with 3-hour increments. We had freshly baked bread with chicken salad for lunch, and for dinner, we had teriyaki chicken with rice and vegetables. While Casey was at the helm, with his superior steering skills (hehe, his words), the big pot of rice in the cockpit was engulfed with an extra seasoning of ocean saltwater, but everyone enjoyed the extra salty rice. Of course, it was one of only two spills into the cockpit, and it just happened to be during dinner time. Otherwise, it was another day at sea with mostly sunny skies and ash that covered the boat from the active volcano Mt. Montserrat. We experienced swells as high as 8 feet, and the chefs, Eric and Jenny, were thrown about in the galley. So far, to my knowledge, no one has experienced any serious seasickness, and it appears that we are gaining our sea legs.
