Wind SW F5
 
We are now through the worst of the front which gave us 40 knot winds. The rain was so intense we had little more than 100m visibility. No blue skies ahead just yet so I am being a little cautious, although the wind has dropped, before increasing sail again.
 
I am expecting arrival in Bermuda on Monday. Hopefully we can set off as soon as we have fueled, watered and added a few provisions - lettuce, tomatoes, onions and fruit would be nice to have on board again! We have a nasty looking low coming through our course on Wednesday and there is little prospect of avoiding it. It may be that we will have to stay in Bermuda until Thursday to let it pass so we are looking at arriving at Annapolis either Sunday 10th or Tuesday 12th.
