Clifton, Union Island
walter@comcast
We had a good, quick sail over to Union island, with strong winds well
behind the beam. We had the lines out, but no bites.
Union Island is a wonderful spot. I had misgivings when I got here
with regard to the kiting, but they were unfounded. It has blown 20
kts consistently since we got here. I am working on backroll
transitions and making the biggest possible splash. I am in flat water
for a change, and liking it. If I want srf, I just tack out a narrow,
shallow channel in the reef.
The rest of the crew are enjoying a relaxing time reading a
snorkeling. There were a few good finds in the book exchange at the
local yacht club. (yes, there is one, and it s pretty nice..
The town is quaint and colorful, supplies are available and Dawn
spotted a few lobster in a nearby reef a week ago, and we need to try
to catch them.
