		<title>Zenfolio and taking the leap</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Photography, for me, is a hobby verging on a passion; with most of my pleasure coming from shooting at gigs.  I get to hear good music, and I get to hone my skills &#8211; not a bad life really. I&#8217;m also a system administrator, with the ability to write code in a variety of languages, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bequia to St. Vincent to Barbados</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up before the sun.  Tidied up the ropes, and we were off into the Bequia channel by 0650 (after bathing Mum in vinegar because she ran in to some jellyfish on her morning swim).  The channel was rougher than the leg down, but nowhere near as rough as we&#8217;ve seen it before, so it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bequia Redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up at 06:00.  Hot night, even with the windscoop.  Came up on deck to find us pointing to the west, which is even more unusual than pointing to the south.
Some small entertainment on the &#8216;Sailing&#8217; channel &#8211; a charter yacht arrived around 06:10, dropped anchor, lifted anchor, moved, dropped anchor, lifted anchor, moved and then [...]]]></description>

		<title>Tobago Cays to Bequia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Not the best of nights; one squall and awake several times to investigate non-rhythmic noises.  Got up relatively late, 06:45.
Yacht is prepped, we leave for Bequia soon.  Sailing in the morning light is cooler, it&#8217;s easier to see the reef to the west of the Cays, and the sun isn&#8217;t as strong on the skin.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Petit St. Vincent to the Tobago Cays</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up with the sun again, and a quick battening of the hatches as a small squall went through.  The plan is to depart around 10:00 for the Cays.  Leaving at this time gives us the morning light from the east on &#8216;Mopion&#8217; and &#8216;Pinese&#8217;, making it easy to see disturbed water etc, and also gives [...]]]></description>

		<title>Petit St. Vincent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Woke up far too early, wandered to the stern, observed the light and went back to bed.  Got up again around 06:30.
We decreed today to be a day of rest; we&#8217;ll go up to the Cays tomorrow.  Nipped across to Petit Martinique (part of Grenada&#8217;s territory, so the yacht would have to clear customs to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Union to Petit St. Vincent</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Up before any one else today.  &#8216;Nature&#8217; channel is in full swing as the pelicans catch breakfast.  Watched 3 fishermen drift along the bay, using a hand-thrown net to catch bait fish &#8211; the pelicans don&#8217;t seem to care at all.
Around 09:00, Mum and I took the dinghy over to where the birds were fishing, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mayreau to Chatham Bay</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Squall in the night; proper tropical one that dumps several litres of water on you in a minute or two.  Compounding the normal squall rain were the rain scoops, sorry windscoops.  A mad dash to get the hatches closed.
Up around 06:30, with a breakfast of Tea Times, tea and oats.
On the &#8216;Sailing&#8217; channel, we noticed [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bequia to Mayreau</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The windscoops worked a treat; a very pleasant night indeed.  Breakfast was Gran&#8217;s banana bread, tea and fresh air.  Broke out the epoxy and fixed a broken drawer, one half of the leaf tables in the cockpit and one of the rope tidys.  The engine mount on the dinghy can wait.
Went ashore just after 08:00 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bequia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Better night than last; complete with squall around 23:30.  Up around 06:30, nature channel presented a brown booby using our pulpit as a perch for a good ten minutes.  Photos and video obtained, though quality is unknown given the age of the camera.
We have a JPEG from Kenmore Henville of the three of us crossing [...]]]></description>
