Passage from Newport RI to Tortola BVI - Atlantic 48 - 2007

On a Mooring


We passed Anegada at 11:30pm Nov 27th which means we made it from Newport to

the BVI's in 7 days and a few hours. In the last 50 miles we passed a boa
tthat was docked next to us in Newport a couple days before we left. The
yhailed us on the radio and we had a nice chat. I was a nice da
ytoday...very uneventful. Good wind and friendly seas. All we could thin
kabout all day was rounding Anegada. That's all for now. I will share mor
eafter we sleep for a couple days :

From Monique: when I post these, if I am lacking photos from crew...I'll add some random sailing ones to keep it fun!
