Sequel - Sequel_Azores

Day 2 to Azores Great time in Bermuda.WCC plans well and makes the trip fun and efficient for us. Many thanks. We departed Bermuda May 22 for Azores. No wind predicted for several days.And it’s true. Sailing with full sails and the iron Genoa. Played trivia games with the fleet last night thanks to LEMA for instigating and connecting us all while we’re floating out here in the middle of the ocean. The calm seas are amazing but we want to sail.Searching for wind…Beautiful sunrise and full moon rising captured by us. image1image2. read more...

Sequel - Day 5 - Sequel

We’re having a “sporty” sail over the last 24 hrs. And expecting same to Bermuda. My Apple Watch told me I’ve complete my 10000 steps! We’re all safe. Getting reasonable rest off watch on the low side bunks.Lots of prepared one pot stews, fruit, peanut butter, water and snacks help.Water maker is fabulous and the new sails are performing excellently. And the new autopilot - fantastic!!Other than the washing machine wave action it’s been a really great experience. We have 200 miles to go in the same conditions until Bermuda.🌊. read more...

Sequel - Day Two_Sequel

We departed Ft. Lauderdale on Friday with the Blue Angles overhead.
