Bermuda Fleet Getting Ready To Set Sail

danielgoldberg · #1 (**permalink**) 06-18-2009

We're somewhat waiting on the weather forecast, as we're looking at the potential for some strong northerlies for a few days, which obviously is not good for crossing the Stream. But, we still have a few more days until our scheduled start, which is Sunday, June 21 from Greenport, NY.

If anyone wants to follow the fleet's progress, feel free to check out iBoat Track - About, and click the link for 2009 Bermuda Cruising Rally.

I may post updates as the fleet goes along, in case anyone is interested. If we start on our about Sunday as scheduled, we anticipate that the fleet should be in port in St. George's towards the end of the week. We'll see.

Hope everyone in the northeast is managing to stay dry!

iBoat Track sounds like a great tool. Looking forward to your start--Hopefully close to on time so I can get the return leg in!! (Very wet here in CT.

Daniel,

Good luck to you and the rest of the fleet. Safe voyage.

I would appreciate it if you would report any sea-serpent sightings. It looks a lot like this:

Dan,

Hopefully if this rain subsides a bit I will make it out to Greenport with my own boat this weekend. If not I hope you guys have a great trip down and I look forward to seeing you in Bermuda!

Oh, man! They have sea serpents in that game? I had no idea.

Hope everyone has a great and safe trip!! Now, you're not going are you? I knew Tania was, but I thought you were sitting this one out? Did you change your plans?

Look out for the Bermuda 1-2 Racers whose second leg leaves Bermuda for Newport today as well as the tall ships who left St. George's yesterday.

Maybe next year, Dan, so I'll be watching with interest this time around. Have a safe trip.
