We have left Bermuda, we had a few Storms but then the weather
turned nice, had a day out on the bus, and a pleasant stay there,
Saw a very unusual wedding in the town square, loads of biker
boys (past their sell buy date) the groom was one of them and the
bride was a big Caribbean women with tattoos in a white frock, so it was bit different. We made slow progress at 1st and it was quite high waves, today
we seem to be more settled into the wind, we have WSW4 now
with main and headsail goose winged. Have sun & cloud.
Lat-34.08N - Long-62.48W at 12.00 GMT Tue, 21st - done 217 miles
All is well, but we are making slow progress, 4/5 knots but we are
going in the right direction, we don't need to go any faster as there
is no wind ahead at the moment but should be when we get there.
We have seen our 1st dolphin of this trip while I'm typing this.
Lat-35.04.N - Long-50.39W at 16.00 GMT Wed, 22nd, done - 373 miles.
We have seen some funny jelly fish they are like see through Cornish
Pasties with blue legs!
We are making slow progress as there is no wind, we have had the engine on for the last 18hrs, we need to get higher to find the wind we
need
Lat-35.33N-Long-57.45W-done-485 miles at 13.10-GMT-Thur,23rd.
Hope all is well, and spring is on its way now!
Love to all, Margaret,Alan& Neil xxx
