Arrival!
continue in a series of open genova, genova close the fuck is left and mile after mile Guadeloupe also remains in the wake.
We eleventh day of sailing. Pablo is fine but starts to run but need not be long now, very little!
This morning we are ahead of Pele, the volcano in Martinique, and there are still about five hours of battery life.
We were hoping for a nice cross-wind in the bay of Fort de France, but nothing! Here, too, beat and we pull three edges to reach the Diamond.
passed between the earth and the island. The sea looks like a deep fryer with the water current through the area and we direct it towards Marin.
The sight of this bay dear to us fills our hearts and fills the eyes of Pablo wonder and curiosity.
We left here seven months ago and his memory seems to be no motor boats, cars, big houses.
Traces of "civilization" attract him enormously and once they arrive in port to go ashore to stretch our bones. Pablo sees the cars up close and will be a dazzling love.
The child is grown! Now speak, understand French, is interested in everything and if he could describe what 'who lived in the seven-month journey with his mouth open could leave many experienced navigators.
We are satisfied. Eleven days of sailing. Over 1700 miles traveled against the wind to complete a challenging journey that has enriched us with a period of close partnership that we hope will serve for life. Together
thank Pablo for being so 'open to adventure and to have behaved with great sailor in all these days and thank you for having protected and Aquarius have passed this test with ease.
My greatest respect goes to Henry for having decided that I was next on this trip so 'hard without ever having indulged in the face of difficulty, ensuring that navigation throughout all sorts of attention to me and to Pablo.
With my family!
This adventure ends ... and another will start soon!
New boat ... New life!

Better motor ...
We are at sea for nearly nine days and four proceed motor sailing at about 50 miles off the Dominican Republic and then to Puerto Rico.
try to calibrate the speed of the motor for maximum efficiency.
The wind is almost zero, the sea smooth, we catch a tuna and a nice dorado. The first pelagic fish in the last five months.
We really well and we are recovering from the fatigue of recent days.
The estimate gives us autonomy to get the engine up to St. Croix but would avoid willing to stop doing as part of the U.S. Virgin Islands visa is required for those arriving by boat and Pablo did not have it.
try to take advantage of every breeze, and gradually reached our point motor you move farther away.
changed course running a bit 'further south to St. Kitts where there is a small marina where you can call the fuel truck in supplies distributor.
The idea of \u200b\u200blosing two days between formal and non-fuel we like, and particularly when the wind begins to draw near again fills the sails further south by heading to Guadeloupe.
forecast a resumption of wind damage in a couple of days but we are now running out with oil and we must maintain a route that allows us to supply them.

Is Playing Pokemon On The Computer Illegal?
A little more than eighty miles south of Haiti set the wind and forces us to motor. The forecasts have proved correct!
We reached the island of Hispaniola (Haiti + Dominican Republic) in less than six days at sea and given the precautions taken according to the crew and their good performance.
now start our route to the east, the one that really takes us to the Lesser Antilles. This treatment is generally to be made against the wind trying to stop even during the day to navigate at night using the thermal contrast and are slightly rotate the scheme Aliseo.
If the window is not as good as it seems we need and we will sail without stopping the engine until the fuel will last.
