COMMENT: Beach House -EN ROUTE- Suriname to Georgetown, Guyana (Former British Guyana)
This morning we were abeam of Paramaribo, Suriname, but the conditions did not look good for an entry.
Lots of squalls, low visibility very muddy and VERY SHALLOW water over 11 miles off the coast. Less than 18 feet.
Hence, we decided to pass and take advantage of WIND and are running before it; main and pole to starboard with the genoa.
