Heading out of Berumda for the BVI's today!!

Well, the time has come. Grant Sinclair is here, and he has already gone around the island by bus and by ferry to both Hamilton and the Dockyard Military Museum. I know he could have enjoyed many days on this beautiful island, but hey he'll also enjoy a couple of days with warmer weather on the other end of the trip, when we arrive in the British Virgin Islands!

Herb told us yesterday that we will have a lumpy sea state because of the wind we have received over the past few days, and will have 15 to 20 knot winds from the north for the first day or two. At this point, he predicts day 2, 3, and 4, to be light to variable winds until we get south enough to pick up the easterly trade winds of the Caribbean. So, if he's right, we'll have a great 6 to 7 day sail!

Our dear friend, John Fallon will post to the blog while we're underway, but you might find that we're able to do the job ourselves with a bit more detail if we have nice quiet days...we'll wait and see. Thanks John for your assistance in this.

Laurie and Grant headed in by dinghy to pick up a few groceries and clear customs. Our departure time will be around 11:00 am this morning.

Stay warm everyone!
