Another beautiful morning at sea.our expected arrival at St. Georges is 1130 so we will enjoy the morning sail on deck.
Coffee and continental breakfast and lounge on deck until breakfast. Yes we eat.
Watched some of the crew haul a motor from below decks, way down, and lower the replacement. Quite an operation.
We are watching foods climb to the lowest crows best on the main mast. We are under jib and staysail and two squares off the fore mast. Moving along nicely.
As we wetter approaching port the captain have a talk about air foil and lift and how it applies to sails and specifically to a square rigger. The importance of the jibs in control of the ship. Also you may set the fore and aft yards at different angles to balance the boat.
After lunch it was off to town. We didn't stay long. Local taxi drivers hassled us to much.
Back to the ship for a swim off of the swim platform.
