'Spirit of Bermuda' - Sunday, September 13, 2009

By Capt. Jack Morton
Capt. Update Sunday Sept. 13th

noon position 35 53 N 67 14 W

What goes around, comes around.  As sloppy as the first day and a half was, the last day and a half has been extraordinarily fine.  Sailing  about nine knots directly toward  Bermuda on a broad reach, in about 16 - 18 knots breeze, under puffy clouds and blue skies.  Brochure sailing.   In today's lines chase, all watches distinguished themselves by having thoroughly learned the ships lines.  Tomorrow they'll show us the same mastery of knots, and some will calibrate the GPS by noonsights with the sextant.  Tentative ETA St Georges late Monday.  Probably too late for customs & immigration, so expecting to check in Tuesday AM.  Returning in high spirits.  

 
Best regards, 

 

Jack Morton

Marine Supt, & alternate captain,

Spirit of Bermuda
