We left the British Virgin Islands yesterday just after lunch and traveled to Saint Kitts and Nevis. We arrived safely just after 10 am this morning. It was a pretty tough passage with almost continuous squalls with large wind shifts, strong gusting winds and pouring rain at times. It was an upwind leg so seas and wind were against us.
We did manage to break the autopilot tiller arm into 2 pieces in a large squall at around 4 am and had to hand steer after that. I believe I can get the arm repaired here in Saint Kitts. If not I will have to have one shipped from the US. The scenery here is awesome with the mountains rising up to nearly 4000 ft within 1 mile of the shoreline.
