On Thursday I filled up water, gasoline and diesel, and sailed
to George Town. It was a beautiful day, my new Garmin GPS was amazing; a
massive upgrade from my last one.
Seven Mile Beach
When I got to North West Point, the wind dropped and the
waves got very messy, so I tried to motor through it. Just like last time, I
got engine warning lights and alarms. I shut off the engine and just drifted
while I fixed the problem: my fan belt had snapped. Also the winch I didn’t
service, seized up. I need to service it. When I finally got to George Town all
the buoys were taken.
Sea Shepherds were in town; now on their way to Panama on an
anti shark-finning mission. I met some of the crew; very cool. It’s very
tempting to follow them and go through the Panama Canal.
I plan to leave after breakfast on Saturday, hopefully
arriving in Little Cayman for breakfast on Sunday. On Friday the wind shifts
slightly to the south, exactly what I was hoping for. I’m also hoping it shifts
back to the east for the sail to Jamaica.
