Date: Mon, 21 May 2012 Place: St. George's Bermuda Wind/Weather: S, 18 to 24 knots, rainy Title: Arrival in Bermuda I had the mid watch last night and I was hoping to see the Bermuda glow from 60 miles out but I saw nothing. This morning I had the 0900 to 1200 and finally spotted land from about 10 miles out. Two hours later we were docked at Ordnance Island and checking in to customs. My first task was to find a place to dock. There were no spaces ...

Date: Sun, 20 May 2012 Place: Enroute to Bermuda Wind/Weather: S, 14to 18 knots, cloudy. Title: Day 5 at Sea I woke up at 0530 for the 0600 to 0900 watch. The sun was coming up and it looked like it was going to be a nice day. Well, it wasn't a bad day but it never did get warm and sunny. We are definitely in a different climate zone.

Date: Sat, 19 May 2012 Place: Enroute to Bermuda Wind/Weather: SE 18 to 24 knots / cloudy with showers Title: Day 4 at Sea Well, yesterday was a very nice day. Today, not so much.

There...

We finally had a change in weather. The wind has died down a little, we are sailing about 5 to 6 knots and the water is staying in the ocean. This is lazy-day sailing and has allowed us to get some clothes washed and some things dried out. We also checked the solar an...

Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 Place: Enroute to Bermuda Wind/Weather: SE 20 to 25 knots, sunny Title: Day 2 at Sea I got a good 5 hours sleep last night and woke up at 0530 for my 0600 watch. The sun was coming up and it looked like a nice day ahead. I hand steered for about an hour and noticed that there was a fair bit of weather helm. After my watch I busied myself doing dishes and cleaning the galley. Then I fixed a couple of cabinet doors so they wouldn...
