The weather was predicted to be light, around 13 knots... And it was at first... I was able to have a nice sail with a full rig up for a while, but then the wind picked up a bit and the boat was flying! For a while there, I was doing sustained 6.4 knots, even going up to 6.7 a few times! My boat, however, is not really designed to do more than 6.3 kts, so I decided to reduce sail and still was able to stay between 5.5 - 6.2 knots! This was more comfortable and still fast enough for me... It was a sweet sail and now I am peacefully anchored at Black Point, one of my favorite spots in the Exumas.
