Day 6 - Arrival in Bermuda
 
Matchmaker entered Town Cut St Georges, Bermuda at 11.30 am Local time - 10.30 Ships Time  ( 14.30 p.m.GMT )..
The days run was 142 miles  ( in 22.5 hrs...)
 
We were very professionally directed in by Bermuda radio... who enquired on the persons on board - the safety equipment and serial numbers - types of transmitter - EPIRB registration numbers - AIS etc etc... Clearly they take cruising sailors very seriously out here.
 
Jon ran a sweepstake on the time of arrival - Chris wins - on the nose ... he said 10.30 and it was exacta mon 10.30 am !
 
Customs was again quite straightforward - we moored up against a wooden pier on Ordnance Island - 45 mins later we motored round to top up our fuel - both these manouvers were nicely done...
 
Then we dropped our Anchor  and cracked open a few tinneys ... !
 
Cheers - here`s to Matchmaker and all who sail her !
