Sail Loot Podcast 051: Delivering Asante
In the last episode of the Sail Loot Podcast you learned the purchase price of Asante and the whirlwind of activity that was necessary to prep her for sailing her from St. Thomas to the Fort Lauderdale, FL area.
Actually, I’m not quite sure that “whirlwind” describes the chaos of my brain for those two days in St. Thomas. Now that I think about it, I was actually in St. Thomas for less than 48 hours. My flight landed at about 12:45pm on Thursday the 25th of May and we were casting off the lines at the fuel dock prior to noon on Saturday the 27th.
Provisions may not have been completely stowed and new fire extinguishers may not have been securely hung on their new mounts, but everything was onboard somewhere. The crew was ready. All seemed satisfied and ready to set sail.
We had studied wind and weather reports for weeks. We had a weather window and we had to take it on Saturday morning.
Thank you again to Jesse, Dave, Brett, and Brandy for making the trip with me. Thank you Stacey for all of your help in St. Thomas. I can’t say Asante Sana enough. Please visit the websites and blogs listed below. There are written accounts of the passage and even a cool video that Dave put together.
I hope you enjoy my detailed account of my maiden voyage on S/V Asante.
