Arrived in Bermuda this afternoon, around 1pm EST I think. After a big time motor job with light winds over the past few days, the breeze filled in yesterday (Tuesday) afternoon and got heavy and on the nose through the night and even heavier today with good size seas. Not very pleasant on the stomach, even for the seasoned veterans.
The casualties of the first leg: the bimini tearing apart and the bimini frame pulling out of the fiberglass (all this despite brand new fixes and frame to the system this Fall!). Ed is going to speak with the local sailmaker tomorrow to see about getting the bimini repaired.
Sounds like they might be getting some remnants of Hurricane IDA and may have to lay low for a couple of days in Bermuda before departing for Antigua.
