After five and a half days at sea, we arrive in Bermuda just ahead of a storm. Our first order of business is to go ashore, grab a sandwich, and washed it down with a "Dark and Stormy" the local rum drink. Hamilton Bermuda is a very clean city, with shops (closed on sunday), modern apartments and condo. We are guests of the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club - one of the oldest in the "New World" going back to 1844. It was from here the British Navy launched their attack against the US in 1812.
We are all quite pleased at the toughness of the Nordhavn 55 - the main propulsion, the stabilzers, autopilot, generator and air conditioning all operated flawlessly around the clock during the entire trip.
We'll spend 5 to 6 days here cleaning, provisioning, refueling and sight-seeing, and then heading out on the next leg to Horta in the Asores - a 12 day leg.
Sorry I've been unable to post updates while at sea, the internet connection from Moana Kuewa is real slow. The fleet leader has much better connections at sea and he posts daily. Try logging on to the Nordhavn site:
