After a little more than a week in the U.S. Virgin Islands, we set sail on Thursday, May 9 from Magen's Bay, St. Thomas towards Great Harbor, Jost Van Dyke in the British Virgin Islands.
We'd gotten a little lax in our micro weather planning (we listen to marine weather forecaster Chris Parker on our SSB radio each morning for big picture weather forecasting), and as soon as we rounded the point out of Magen's Bay, we were hit by a line of squalls with rain, 25-knot winds and 5-foot waves.
