Anchored off the Illes de Salut islands in French Guiana about an hour after dark. Fast ride in and nice to be in some calm waters. Time for a shower.

Enroute French Guiana - Day5, 6 & 7
Day 5 noon-to-noon run 187nn, day 6 209nm, day 7 213nm.
Yesterday we had winds of 23 to 28kts on the beam all day, with matching seas. None of the crew and passengers were enjoying themselves. Sometime after midnight the winds came a little more from astern and the seas started to lay down, leaving a pretty decent ride - comparatively speaking. Today has been lighter winds, downwind sailing with sunny skies. We also did two back to back days over 200 miles per day, which is pretty respectable. What's not to like except for some sleep deprivation. Looks like we will arrive at Illes de Salut around midnight and should be able to anchor under a full moon.
