<\/center>\nToday we had some great upwind sailing in St Francis Drake Channel. First leg of the trip was from Soper’s Hole over to The Caves off of Norman Island. Ben lost his breakfast on the way. Some combination of the large breakfast, reading Shogun indoors and the rum he drank last night. At the caves we all went snorkeling. We were greeting by an enormous barracuda which we later learned lived there and was called Bert. The Caves were a fun swim. The longest goes back about 50ft and is totally dark inside. It is an awesome view when you turn to come out and see the daylight streaming in.

<\/center>\nDinner was at a nearby restaurant called Nexus. Service was very slow. We think it was due to some anticipated customer spillover from the marina restaurant which was booked up for the evening for a special function.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
