After the repair we left the marina with the intention of stopping in Rodney Bay on the north side of the island of St Lucia, a mere 23 nautical miles away (4 hours sailing South). However the wind conditions were suitable for a long cruise all the way down the east coasts of St Lucia and St Vincent directly to our next destination of Bequia. This is what we did.. The disadvantages were that the swell was high ( 2m) and there were plenty of squalls, and it meant sailing through the night down a dangerous coast line. After 99 nautical miles and 18 hours we dropped anchor in Admiralty Bay Bequia. At least this trip saved us having to clear customs in St Lucia and avoided the wind and wave acceleration zones between the islands of St Lucia and St Vincent.
