It is October 20th, 2011, and Independence is in Bermuda and poised for the last leg of the voyage home. We have had a wonderful summer but it is starting to get cold and we are homesick for our beautiful Virgin Islands.
The trip from Beaufort, NC to Bermuda was a bit rough in the beginning and settled in to a lumpy sea and no wind the last few days so we were very glad to make port. Bermuda is one of our favourite places, everyone is so friendly and helpful and it is beautiful, easy to get around with a great public transportation system and almost as many anchorages as we have around the Virgins.
We were happy to see friends and Red Hook neighbors on High Pockets in the anchorage; both boats now homeward bound and waiting on weather. We are planning a trip up to the Dockyard tomorrow to pick up fuel and water so we can be ready to leave as soon as our weather gurus give the go ahead.
Right now it looks like we can leave this weekend, maybe Monday and the trip will take about a week so maybe we will be home for Halloween.
Our first charter is scheduled for November 10th and we are looking forward to it. Come on down to St. Thomas and
Let's go sailing!
