We left Bermuda as planned on Friday afternoon. Owen arrived at 1530 and we were finished at the fuel dock and gone at 1700. Not much sightseeing for him. The forecast for either northeast winds or no wind. And that is what we got. Northeast, the direction we were heading, for the first day and a half and then nothing for two. By that time though we were in the gulf stream and motoring through the water at six knots and being pushed over the bottom at ten knots. We were secure alongside at DYC at 1215 yesterday(Thursday). Thanks to Jim, Peter, and Owen for helping with the delivery.
Now that the trip is over, it's back to reality. A few days to clean up the boat, get into racing mode for the summer and then I guess I have to find a (gulp) job. Thanks for following along. I still have some pictures to post once I get them all from various cameras and that should happen in a week or two.
Cheers.

The last leg
We arrived here in Bermuda early on Wednesday morning. The trip from Tortolla was just under 6 days. Wind and weather were good. Only one day of really light breeze when we had to motor. Yesterday was a work day and we are leaving this afternoon for Halifax. Hopefully the trip will go as smoothly. The only things left to do are take of fuel and pick up a few groceries. Next stop, home.

One more sleep
Peter arrives this afternoon. The boat is fueled and watered and I will be putting the last of the groceries aboard later today. I have to climb the mast in the morning and then we should be off. Hope to be away by noon or one. Looks like good weather all the way to Bermuda although it may be light for a few days as the Bermuda high has really settled in. Next update will be from St. Georges.
