Dear Shipmates

Introduction

Just arrived in Bermuda from Newport. 4 days and 11 hours en route, averaging about 6.2 knots. Wild conditions and mostly sailing. Weather does not look good to leave Bermuda for at least 5 days, maybe longer.
About me: Grew up summer sailing in the SW of England. Have owned various sail boats for the last 45 years and have often lived aboard. Spend most winters in the Caribbean and summers in New England. Charter and Airbnb the boat to offset expenses and find most people to be interesting and enjoyable company..Ran my own electronics store in New England for many years and still dabble in electronics and try and keep up with the latest stuff.
Always learning new stuff and hopefully sailing will provide crew with offshore sailing experience and learning as well.
