Cleaving her way to windward

Windward!!
Its funny to think that despite nearly 7,000NM under our belt we really haven't done a great deal of windward sailing and so it was with some excitement that we set off from Spanish Wells for the Berry Islands. I wanted to play around a bit with the set up and get to know 'Pearls' quirks on the wind. Down went the center board and off she romped without a care in the world. Easy, powerful and as you can see from the pictures a comfortable motion.

Spanish Wells Marina
Spanish Wells is an affluent island thanks to the Lobster industry. It is a happy, clean, safe and welcoming community that takes great pride in its town. Its so small that it is quaint with transport being golf buggies. This is a picture from a buggy as we rattle down one of the streets

Spanish Wells Marina
As a treat from Traceys birthday we spent a few nights in Spanish Wells at their marina which is one of the nicest marinas we have ever been too. The staff are lovely and all facilities are top notch including the bar/restaurant.
