In Response To: Damn, the Newport-Bermuda race crews are gonna have to keep an extra-sharp lookout this year... ()
As stated, there is much news in "rescue" stories and not much for the yachts and cre that made it overcoming the problems and storms.
Aliza left NYC on a great circle to Azors. (look at our tracking web site) at the MapShare web site: https://share.delorme.com/EfraimSchwartz
We lost the HP injection pump mid way and had to continue on sail power alone.
Lost Auto pilot and repaired it 4 times until was working good.
Had a storm with 52KT wind (without Engine or Auto Pilot and hand steered through it)
Got to Horta safe and are haveing fun... 
Look at Facebook page for "Sailing Yacht Aliza" for more info:
