SAIL ALONG WITH US AS WE JOURNEY 560 MILES FROM BERMUDA TO ST MARTIN!

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 21:34:26 +0000

Our sail from Bermuda to St. Martin was a LONG 6 days. Avoiding squalls, we chose the departure day knowing we would have some doldrums, but this was worst then we thought it would be. It made the trip take longer than we anticipated, burned more fuel running the iron jenny. And our new sail batten box broke making sailing even more handicapped. Crew morale picked up a little during a mid-ocean swim, but our arrival in St. Martin was the most welcome respite.
