Saba

We made it to Saba but the weather is deteriorating and there are no safe anchorages here so we need to move on to take shelter from rough weather approaching. I knew this weather was coming but assumed (incorrectly) that Saba had sufficient protection on its SW corner.
So we are headed to St Kitts to take shelter. Currently the wind is blowing 20-25 knots and the swells are 3 meters. We are beating into the wind so it's a bit of a lumpy-bumpy ride. ETA to Basseterre St Kitts is 8pm. I don't like coming in to an unfamiliar port but it doesn't look like I'll have a lot of choice in the matter this time as the winds are supposed to increase to 30 knots for the next few days.
