Stt to Vieques

After a long day of traveling and provisioning on Tuesday, we woke up before sunrise on Wednesday morning to get an early start for our sail to Vieques.

Even though 3 of the 6 crew members got a little seasick and lost their breakfast overboard after our first tack; it was a pretty uneventful and relaxing sail to Vieques.
