Merciless Charity: A Charity Styles Novel (Caribbean Thriller Series Book 1) - Plot & Excerpts
Charity buried the memory of the night before and concentrated on the task at hand.Clearing the jetty, she held a northern course, until she was a mile offshore. Then, turning west, she toggled all three switches, unfurling the sails. They snapped and filled in the light, but favorable, southerly breeze coming off the coast.Wind Dancer heeled to starboard, accelerating, and Charity shut off the little diesel engine. Alvarado lay four hundred and thirty miles to the southwest. With luck, less than two days of sailing, arriving near dusk. But that would mean an average speed of twelve knots.She knew that she’d lose most of the south wind by the time she made it halfway. The storm in the Gulf had moved inland, way up into the Florida panhandle, and the wind would return to its typical pattern. She would once more have to run before the wind, blowing toward the warmer land mass of mainland Mexico. In this part of the Gulf, the typical winds blew a little more northerly, at least. For the next hundred miles, she’d have to get every knot of speed Dancer could muster.Less than an hour later and fifteen miles out of Progresso, Charity engaged the autopilot.
