Rob and Natalie's Voyages on sv Wilhelm: Passage to Bermuda
http://sv-wilhelm.blogspot.com/2011/06/passage-to-bermuda.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. Act III visible ahead of Wilhelm's gennaker. We sailed north from the US Virgin Islands to Bermuda in company of Act III, a boat heading home to New Hampshire via Bermuda. After one difficult night of lightening, rain, and high winds, the trip was a calm one. We are not the only ones affected by erratic weather - an exhausted bird landed on the boat, so tired and dehydrated that it sipped water from Rob's hand. About Our Boat and Voyage.

Thursday, March 10, 2011. But too lengthy to discuss here. After two windy days in the Saints, we sailed north to Deshaies – the place with the best dinghy dock of all, and waited for a weather window to head north. Labels: Caribbean. Guadeloupe.

Rob and Natalie's Voyages on sv Wilhelm: Bermuda to Maine
http://sv-wilhelm.blogspot.com/2011/06/bermuda-to-maine.html
Saturday, June 11, 2011. We worked our way north from Bermuda and decided to transit the Cape Cod canal, to avoid strong northerly winds to the east. The weather grew colder; dolphins met us along the way, and a few large ships crossed our path. A favorite Aunt and Uncle stood beside the Cape Cod Canal, and waved us on our way.

Tuesday, April 26, 2011. Horse Racing on Nevis. March 27, 2011 (17.15, -61.63). Strolling around Nevis, we read a poster about horse racing that afternoon. One of the horses was named Obama, and the poster proclaimed "Obama say Limb by Limb we a go cut dem down." We wanted a chance to bet on Obama, so off we went. Labels: Caribean. Nevis.

Rob and Natalie's Voyages on sv Wilhelm: Martinique
http://sv-wilhelm.blogspot.com/2011/01/martinique.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. Le Marin, Martinique, after a sail from Bequia past St Vincent and St Lucia. Local boats, les yoles rondes (pronounced similar to “yawl” in English.) had a regatta near the anchorage. These boats have no keel, and a crew of 10 or more men. Three of them use a steering oar about 15 feet long. The rest of the crew coordinate their moves using long wooden poles and remarkable balancing feats to keep the boat sailing through gusts, wind shifts and course changes.
