St Martin to Bermuda – Day 1

 

Departed Marigot bay at 08.40 on Sunday 1st May for the 864M passage to Bermuda. The forecast is for around 10k easterlies and slight seas for the first half of the trip, but we approach Bermuda we expect a southerly gale toward the end of the week.

Had more wind than forecast most of yesterday resulting in pleasant and fast sailing on a beam reach. Wind has slowly headed and gone light in the night, but now up again to 14k and still laying our course with the help of a couple of reefs.

Saw a humpback whale fin flapping and breaching this morning.

All good so far.
