All eight Med Bound 2007 yachts arrived at the Royal Bermuda Yacht Club (RBYC) today, Sunday, June 3, just after noon. On hand to direct the docking was RBYC marina manager and dockmaster James Barnes, a true expert at his craft. Bluewater, the Med Bound 2007 flagship, was first to dock, and I was off the boat quickly to assist James and direct other Med Bound yachts into the club docks. We had pressed hard to reach Bermuda ahead of a forecast weather system related to Tropical Storm Barry. Winds increased to 25 to 30 knots as the Med Bound fleet made its way in through The Narrows channel and on to the club, but they were down by the time we arrived at the docks. RBYC Commodore Andy Cox, a longtime friend of mine, and his wonderful wife Sonia were on hand to greet us and welcome the Med Bound fleet to the hospitable Royal Bermuda Yacht Club. In less than 90 minutes, all Med Bound yachts were docked, and Bermuda customs officer Ken Fox had handled our inbound clearance with dispatch, good humor, and the usual warm Bermuda hospitality. The afternoon found Med Bound skippers and crewmembers comparing notes, congratulating one another on the passage, and visiting back and forth. Med Bound's two dogs, Bluewater's schipperke Katy and Salty Dawg's labradoodle Danforth ("Dani"), made straight for the grass. Katy, a Bermuda veteran, headed straight for the next-door park at Albuoy Park, to do her favorite search for chicken bones. Dani was content just to go to ground. The forecast weather system had not truly arrived by 10 pm when the tired Med Bound crew--most of us, at least--headed for bed. Bottom line: great passage, no mechanical or medical problems of note, and all yachts safely moored at RBYC after an excellent six-day 1,035-mile passage in company. We departed as acquaintance and arrived as good friends! --Milt Baker, Med Bound 2007 organizer, aboard the Nordhavn 47 Bluewater
