Date: 13 June 2007 Time 1500 Position 32.38.12 N 64.45.88 W Distance covered from the dock at Royal Bermuda Y.C. 34 Approximate distance to go: 616 NM To Brenton Reef Buoy off Newport Additional mileage to inner harbor Newport R.I. 7 miles. We left today at 1005 from the dock and made the turn for a rhumb line run at 1330.with clear skies and lots of sunshine. The weather looks good for most of the trip based on all the reports we are getting. Those who left before us because of commitments have had some uncomfortable conditions. We hope we will not encounter the same weather. We are traveling in company with BESO the Nordhavn 40 and New Frontier a 62' Nordhavn. As we left today we are seeing quite a bit of boating activity. The Newport to Bermuda One/Two race is finishing. This is a sailboat race that left Newport about 5 days ago with one person on the boat and in a week the same boats will race back to Newport with two people on board. In addition we also saw another Nordhavn coming into Bermuda from Newport today as well. We are getting back into the routine of being at sea again. Only this time it will be considerably less time on the water. We are looking to arrive in Newport sometime on Sunday. I will sign off for now and give you full report on our first 24 hours tomorrow Hope this finds you all well. Jim, Pete & Dave Crew onboard the Nordhavn 43 Summer Skis
