Firefly - Arrived in Bermuda

Firefly had a great sail over from the BVIs, it took 5 days and after a ‘little bumpy’ first night we settled into a good beam to broad reach for most of the trip with a little dead down wind under goose wing for the last evening as we approached Bermuda.

Sailing with just the two of us got a little tiring at times but we coped and even managed ham omelettes for breakfast on our last morning sail in to St George’s.

We were welcomed at the customs dock with a dark and stormy from Mark of WCC so we were soon in non sailing mode.

The highlight of our first full day ashore was a trip to Hamilton and watching the World Match Racing Gold Cup at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. Great racing and hospitality.

Our third crew member Mike arrives tonight as get ourselves and Firefly prepared for departure on Wednesday.
