[status] DAY 20 1483 nm to Grenanda. Stbd broad reach sgl rf main and stay sail, 7.5kts at 275T. We think we celebrated clearing the convergence zone a bit early as the sea, sky and wind look pretty much the way they did 2 days ago despite forecasts to the contrary. As noted above we are now headed to Grenada, the southern most island in the windward island chain. They have he ability to haul us out and repair the gearbox there but given the imminence of the hurricane season it is unlikely we will be able to leave and still make our east coast arrival this season. Grenada is south of the hurricane belt for insurance purposes so we will be leaving Kailani there on the hard for several months. Such are the plans of cruising sailors. All well on board.
