So I'm about to sail 1400 nm, from Antigua to Nantucket

[Big A]

I'm helping move this yacht, The Blue Peter, to its hurricane-season home. Only stop on the way is Bermuda, which has a 14 day quarantine policy so we won't be leaving the boat.

in the meantime we're trying to set a class speed record between Antigua and Bermuda.

I'll post updates in this thread if anyone is interested. Also if I die at sea someone please delete my styleforum history....

Nice looking craft and a good adventure! Shame you can't go ashore in Bermuda

No internet on the boat, but we made it

Excellent! Congratulations. Hope it was as epic as the photos make it out to be.

How was the trip?! Did you set the class speed record?

 

[edinatlanta]

How was the Bermuda Triangle

Nope. Too many things broke which is how it goes with sailing. long-distance journeys are always a war of attrition

Awesome

Oh man, I would love to try something like this. I mean, I've only sailed like a handful of times and always on SF Bay but still, it'd be a once in a lifetime thing for me to sail that far on something like that! Preferably not during a pandemic, though. Still, very cool.
