Mahina Kai, is having a lively sailing day. The wind has picked up. The remnants of the Gulf stream are working in our favor and we are heading straight for Bermuda. We have a reef in the main and the jib and still plenty of wind to move us along.
17-20 knots of wind out of the south west. 300 nautical miles remaining. Art and the birthday girl Sam are on watch and making full speed to our destination.
Current ETA God and Weather willing is Tuesday afternoon.
The initial round of shore crew should also be enjoying the sun and hospitality of our Bermuda friends as of today.
We continue to track you on almost an hourly basis - conditions look ideal for a vigorous sail, and the weather seems to be cooperating! We hope everyone is excited but comfortable, and each has settled into a kind of routine for this monumental endeavor. Happy Birthday to Sam - what a way for her to kick off another year!
