Take a look at this....Barge broke loose from the Tug. (pic)
Getting Lucky
Yep, Here in Beaufort, still waiting
Are you still shooting for Bermuda, and the Virgins...?
Hey Jon... plans and places.
Hey Dave & Jon: Why not Bermuda?
Well, I just don't like the idea of Bermuda this time of year, so I'll cite Don Street as my excuse... (grin)
I don't have Street's book but...
Well, Street seems pretty adamant about this...
I'll go with Street . . .
Here's what he has to say about that...
Street writes it like a broker who doesn't want to pay an insurance claim
If that's the case you should have stricter boat maintenance/outfitting requirements.
Or, like a guy who sails an enginless boat... I don't disagree, I too am a bit surprised by how conservative he is...
I should make clear, far be it from me to doubt the wisdom of Don Street, he's done that trip WAY many more times than I (nm)
One more comment, re the notion that this trip "should be quite manageable..."
It's our old friend the Gluf Stream which (link)
Well, there's that word "should" again... (pic)
BTW, Dave seems to be doing well, looks like he's decided to give Bermuda a miss on this one...
Bermuda!!! (pic)

I found a first edition of a Street Caribbean guide in our marina laundry room shelf last year
Back on the net
Brad...check your email. (nm)
That's great, Jeremy - I'll be looking forward to seeing the new edition...
Nah, I wouldn't make fun of anyone motoring in order to out-run an approaching storm...
