Sailing on Fortitude (July 18-23)

Rainbow over Union Island (Jul 19, 2004, 05:06pm) It was raining lightly in the evening of July 19th (and it stormed that night). During a break in the rain, I noticed this rainbow arched over the expanse of Union Island. In this picture you can also see the beach in Chatham Bay as well as a few other boats that had moored there for the night. (This is my only picture of Chatham Bay.)

Scientific Maritime Service in Chatham Bay (Jul 20, 2004, 08:55am) This boat was also moored in Chatham Bay with us on the night of July 19th. When we first arrived in the is boat was listing as if it had taken on water. By the next morning (as you can see in this picture), the boat had righted itself. We suspect that they had to patch a hole in the side and then pump the boat out all night long.

Daphne sitting at the bow of Fortitude (Jul 20, 2004, 09:58am) The morning of July 20th and we sail from Union Island to Sandy Island (a distance of around 5 miles), just north of Carriacou (which is actually part of Grenada). Here you see Daphne riding up in the front of the boat. The island in the distance is Carriacou.
