The Caribbean for Christmas, Part 3 | Ep. 196

I divert west of the classic sailing route from the US East Coast to the Caribbean, hoping to avoid an area of strong winds resulting from a low pressure system to the southeast. I am confident that I will be able to work my way east further down the track, before encountering the easterly trade winds. Nonetheless the brisk winds arrive, and while filming my little ship romping through the white capped sea the poetry of John Masefield comes to mind.
