Friends,
Last night Sean moved NW of us and provided us
with 40knot winds rotating around from the south to the northwest. Winds are now
25-30 knots but expected to subside over the next 6-8 hours. We hope to leave
tomorrow but there will be a rush for the fuel dock. No docking in the winds we
have been having. Melissa flies home tomorrow so we will be a crew of four to
Tortola. Hope for a fairly mild crossing of 4-5 days. Weather window looks good
with N-NE 10-20 knots. We are hunkered down for the day with maybe a movie.
Good wifi but no Netflix ! Patriot, the last remaining boat of our fleet
coming to Bermuda, arrived at dusk last night just before Sean. They had spent
10 days getting pummelled with no winds less than 25 knots and were SOOO HAPPY
to be in. Unfortunately they could not be on the dock and so had to go to anchor
with a completely dishevelled boat. Considering the role this harbour
plays as a haven for yachts the marina facilities are sorely lacking.
As a crew we are planning future marina facilities for St George's ... More to
come when we put to sea.
