We have had a fantastic stay in Bermuda. The weather has been great with daytime temperatures of about 75F and night-time lows of about 69F pretty much every day. It is a beautiful place and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, but it is time to move on. The winds have been very strong (25-30 knots) for the past few days but they are starting to drop and it appears as though there is a pretty good weather window in the next few days that we will take advantage of.
Our plan is to leave Sunday morning and we hope to make it to Jost Van Dyke in the BVI's in approximately 5 days. We are expecting squally weather as we get closer to the Carribean. We will use the SPOT to track our position. You can expect that instead of following directly south down the I-65 (as the cruisers call the path directly south from Bermuda to the BVI's at 65 degrees W longitude) we will try to go a little east (to about 63-30 W)so that as the winds swing around from E to S-E later in the passage that we can keep our speed up and not have to sail directly upwind.
Jon.
