Aphrodite arrives safely in Bermuda
May 16th, 2007
We are proud of our accomplishment, and we arrived safely. As we approached Bermuda, however, the wind died and we had to motor/sail and/or just motor the last 25 miles. Otherwise we sailed the entire 1056 km which took 5 days 20 hrs. The other ARC Europe boats that left Florida are still a day away. We will rest tonight and begin repairs to the spinnaker and trampolines tomorrow. The Anchorage is pretty and well protected. There a abougt 25 other sailboats here and 2 large cruise liners.
Clearing customs was easy. Another loss on the trip is our new Sony computer. It simply refuses to start up like it has no power. I hope we can repair it here or we may have to ship it back for repairs. When we get internet we will send pictures.
