Day’s Run – 4 April, 2016

We arrived in Bermuda this morning, after a cracking seven day sail up from St. Martin.  It’s always amazing coming in through the narrow town cut: suddenly the water is a gorgeous shade of turquoise, the swell drops to nothing and all seems well with the world.  There was even a mother duck trailing fluffy ducklings to welcome us in.

Ty-rique, our Bermudian crew member was also met by his family and friends – understandably proud of what he’s achieved in six months at sea.
