Evenings were idyllic with overnight temperatures about 20C degrees, although a bit humid. the crew settled down to “after five” drinkies, watching the sunset over tropical coconut palm covered islands followed by many a grand meal prepared by the budding chefs, and games of cards. The days spent sailing up to 6.9 knots on a broad reach, and motoring to maintain the batteries, were rounded out with seeking out new anchorages, swimming in clear water, snorkeling, fishing without success, photography and reading.
