The girls set out from North Sound, Virgin Gorda bound for Anegada long before sunrise this morning. The girls strapped in to their harnesses and clipped into the boats jack lines to put their previous night's navigation work to the test. They used the lighted aids to navigation to maneuver their 50 foot sailboats out of the mooring field through the Bitter End Channel. They regulated their boat speed and timed their turn precisely to line the boats up with the channel out of North Sound, careful to avoid Colquhoun Reef. They raised sails as they entered the Necker Island Passage bound for Anegada with a beautiful Caribbean Sunrise backlighting the sky. After several hours and 5 navigation legs the girls safely picked up mooring balls in the Anegada mooring field and are taking some time for some much needed rest.
