We are home....
Arrived at Sopers Hole and cleared in and proceeded
directly to Nanny Cay. Awesome showers, drinks and then a crew dinner at Peg
Legs. A group of friends joined us halfway through dinner so we had a lovely
reunion and welcome. Slept like the dead after four days of watches. Jim and
Austin took the ferry to St Tomas for flights home and we started the cleaning
and uppacking. We will leave the dock tomorrow for a few days of "vacation
sailing" before returning to Vermont. All told it ws a record trip for speed and
ease of sailing. All downwind work. No breakages, equipment failures or crew
issues/injuries. 0 engine hours from Bermuda to Tortola - now I just need to
figure out what to do with 60 gallons of extra diesel. Other rally boats
that left from Hampton are stuck with no wind and declining fuel supplies. Luck
of the draw. A word of remembrance for those that had a much rougher time of it
than we did. Thank you for following us, it was fun for me to think I was
connecting with a few friends while in the middle of the ocean. This is Namaste
signing off or as they say on the VHF or SSB - "Namaste
clear"
