Sorry for the back to back posts but I am pressed for time and not nearly caught up on the blog yet. Still more exciting stories to tell before I get everyone to the present. However, I am shipping out tomorrow from St Martin to cross the Atlantic. I am sailing on the 53 foot Hallberg-Rassy pictured below:

| S.V New Dawn |
On board is our experienced Danish captain and 2 young Swedish guys who have been sailing the Caribbean this last year. We have stocked up on supplies, probably enough to last for two crossings.
 |
| 3 shopping carts and two car trips later, we had it all on board |
I plan to have my Spot Tracker on for the entire trip so if you want to see where I am, you can click on my Spot Tracker link on the right.
As for St Martin, about the only thing that is fun to do here is watch the planes land and take off as they blast tourists off the beach and being cautious around town so you don't get robbed.

Just wanted to make this a quick one and let ya'll know where I am at and what I am currently up to. I will have plenty of time to get blog caught up during the hopefully 3 week passage to the Azores. Talk to you on the other side.
Cheers,
Jb
Hi Jay - saw the jetwash area in a viral video with girl doing a face-plant on the curb after losing her grip on the rail/fence but didn't know where it was. Did you experience a direct blast?
