Closer to Bermuda

From Ed: The temperature today is 80 degrees and we're really enjoying the climate, however, there is and has been a real lack of wind on this trip. Still motoring and we are about 217 miles or less than 48 hours from Bermuda. I'll keep you posted on our progress.

We've spoken with Herb (the weather guru from Canada who volunteers his time to provide weather guidance to sailboats during Atlantic/Caribbean passages) today and the Single Side Band is working great. Herb has been loud and clear and he has received our signal well too. Herb indicates that a low in the Caribbean may merge with the remains of Hurricane Ida and present a complex low in the Bermuda area, so were keeping the boat moving to arrive in Bermuda prior to the low passing through.

The Shepherd's Pie was well received last night and we just about polished it off.

We are currently located at 35 27N, 67 08W and motoring at 6 knots on a direct course of 160 degrees to Bermuda.
