Since we knew there would be a rush for fuel first thing in the morning, we decided to wait until afternoon to top off our tanks! We took on about 110 gallons of diesel at over $8.00/gallon, which should be plenty to get us all the way to Tortola. The good news is that we’ve got some wonderful wind right now, and after going through a short cull, we should be flying through the trade winds and on the port tack all the way to Tortola.
And as if life couldn’t get any better, our night in Bermuda was very pleasant and relatively uneventful, when leaving port we saw not one but two cruise ships approaching, I am so glad that we’re back at sea and not having to deal with the thousands of people from the cruise ships.
