Mark cut the slab into some nice fillets that fed 8 of us 2 to 3 times and we still had leftovers. Oh&#8230;those fish tacos with that fresh wahoo Mark prepared, guacamole made by Erin &amp; rice made by Krisann was phenomenal! <em> (Seems like my sailing blogs have somehow become food blogs)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>We left Statia at about 4:00 AM to sail to St Barts. It was supposed to be a very nice night with average wind speed around 15 knots with gusts to 20. We thought a double reef would be fine and we were correct. All hands were on deck to prepare for the sail, then we split into two teams for night-watch, I was on the 2nd team with Joe and Krisann so we got to sleep until about 7 AM before we took over. Troy actually pulled an all-nighter so it was nice to have an extra hand on board as we arrived at St Bart&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/northernbreezessailing.com\/index.php\/2018\/03\/28\/day-4-week-2-the-day-the-dinghy-died\/\">Day 4 Week 2 Itinerary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We started the day with crepes that Erin made and then spent the day in Statia doing a bit of hiking, shopping and exploring the island.
