Today was Jess and Matt's day to run the boat! The morning started with a breakfast route briefing by Jess. The anchor was raised by Matt with Jess at the helm. We then headed out of Key West Harbor and turned east back to Newfound Harbor. The route is a familar one which is good for a first day running the show (rather than one where it's all tricky, shallow and new). The wind was from the east which meant motoring, but we were able to put the sails up for a bit to get some extra speed. Jess 'manned the helm' for most of the day watching the instruments and making steering adjustments based on the wind changes. It was windy and bouncing, but a nice day nonetheless.
I made Toll House Cookies and achieved hero status amongst the Brit contingent. Matt's on dinner duty tonight and Steve is making his entry into the cocktail competition.
