Transit Blog January 2011

If you want to read about the transit from Annapolis to St Thomas, you can do so by connecting to Captain Tofer's own blog at http://wanderingdolphin.blogspot.com/ . It was a challenging transit, with winds gusting to 60 knots, and waves over 30' breaking over the beam of Sweetest Thing, running from the wind under bare sticks. Cold weather as well. Fountaine Pajot gave us a sea-worthy boat. Just look a-loft at her spreader system, and you will see that she was designed to handle these conditions. A lesser rig would have not have remained aloft under these conditions.
