When talking about the ocean passages we often heard them called doable by cruisers who obviously didn't want to say they did it but they wish they hadn't. Today was doable. We left with ten or twelve other boats who were anchored off Lanyard Cay ready to cross the cut in Little Harbor. This morning since 6:30 there was a lot of traffic on the radio, people exchanging weather information, because as always it was blowing much harder than what been forecast. In the end after many doubts and discussion we weighed anchor and left. All the boats left. When asked by the cruiser's net about the conditions on the passage one of the boats said doable. Yeah, right. It was very, very rough. Marcos was right on the button. 8 to 11 feet rollers from the side. Barfy, idettes ginger cookies came back to haunt her. Twice.
But after seven and a half hours of suffering (though four hours into the trip the waves came down a bit: seven to nine) we are back in parqadise: Royal Isalnd in the Eleutheras. No internet just the blackberry. So sorry for the typos its hard in this little keyboard!!!

Hello from Last Call. Had lunch with Patagonia on Monday and Tuesday I sailed for about 4 hours. Fantastic. Last Call broke its record for strongest gust: 31knots. Amazing. But all well. Another nice sunny warm afternoon, but will be getting cold again, so enjoy yourselves. Don't give up Juan you are in Paradise don't forget and eating delicious meals. All the best Joel
