Closer and Closer

We are in the home stretch now. About 12 hours from now we will be pulling into St George's Harbor Bermuda. Wow, where did that week go?

We learned several things in the last six days. I bought too much food, our watch schedule rocks (plenty of rest for everyone) , good crew makes everything easier and our cockpit flooring makes a whole bunch of noise when the seas come from a certain direction. Creak, creak, creak. When you are down below this sounds like the boat is shaking apart. Now we all know Pixie Dust is s good sturdy boat, but it took me 2 days (or nights) to figure out where the noise was coming from, and by that time I was ready to throw them overboard. Wood on fiberglass, creak...

One other thing we learned the Iridium GO has made our communication from sea infinitely easier.
