Under way: Working the night shift

Article Abstract:

The experiences of a sailing family, which is a rarity in the long-distance cruising crowd, aboard Grace towards English Harbor, Antigua are narrated. Even after three years of steady cruising and ocean crossing, the girls in the family were largely untested at the helm and the windvane shaft had snapped making it difficult to steer the boat.
