We got up with the sun this morning so we could get to The Baths in good time. We reached The sailing was awesome. We were achieving 8-9 knots while regenerating 10A (at 72V) per motor in about 20 knots of wind. I am in love with this boat. It\u2019s not the fastest one around but she shifts in the wind.<\/p>\n

<\/center>We did the usual crawl through the rocks at The Baths then climbed up to \u201cThe Top of The Baths\u201d a restaurant with the most awesome views. There we had a late breakfast which was simply delicious. It\u2019s easy to think it doesn\u2019t get better. <\/center>We decided not to snorkel around The Baths as we\u2019d all done that before and preferred to wait til later when we could snorkel Eustatia Reef. We therefore sailed all the way to North Sound and eventually moored off of Saba Rock. Again \u2013 awesome sailing in 20knots of wind. <\/center>Soon after mooring Tony, who we\u2019d met the previous day, met us at the boat in order to show us where to go on Eustatia Reef for the best snorkeling. We sorted ourselves out and spread ourselves across the two dinghys. With the wight balanced we were both able to race out to the reef planing over the water. The reef was a great location to snorkel with plenty of fish, challenging swell with some interesting objects to spot : we saw a large anchor and an old canon. Makes one think of past times in the Caribbean and how different it all was.Today I conducted a very successful test of my wifi antenna achieving a signal significantly better than ever achieved before with my Belkin antenna. What\u2019s more, I was using my omni antenna which meant the boats motion had no affect. We were moored 1,200 feet off of Saba Rock and I was able to video Skype my parents with no problem.We were due to eat with Tony and his wife Sue but unfortunately Sue hadn\u2019t been feeling too well so she was resting. Tony came over to Dignity at 6pm which we had arranged earlier and we shared a couple of beers.We then had dinner at Saba rock. We all chose the \u201cAll You Can Eat\u201d buffet. Good deal for them as our appetites were subdued.<\/p>\n

<\/center>After dinner we dinghied over to the Bitter End Yacht Club to catch the end their live music and have a bit of a dance.Another great day.<\/p>\n
