Blonde Moment - Bermuda to Azores 1



wednesdy 16th may

Bermuda has been a great stopover.

Apart from the first couple of days when we arrived the weather has been fantastic ,almost wall to wall sunshine and a light cooling breeze. Touring the island by scooter is a must for any visitor and great fun can be had .

We were hosted by st Georges dinghy and sports club and whilst I think all would agree that a referb. is required to the club house nobody could argue that the view from the balcony is fantastic - a great place for a Dark and Stormy sun downer.

Well all good things must come to an end and so it was time to leave Bermuda and head off to the Azores.The weather on start day was no different to the previous few days with glorious sunshine and light winds. Normally i am not one that gets mixed up in the boat mess on the start line with my own boat but this time we could have been 3rd over the line but for a class B boat lingering in our way which i had to take drastic action to avoid - typical!

any way we avoided any close encounters and the fleet readed out through the cut into open water- it must have made a good spectical for those watching

Having cleared the cut and navigated to open water the fleet set off in search of good sailing winds and the Azores.....
