Atlantic Crossing into Fifty

We are now 130 miles from St. Georges Harbor in Bermuda - have some reefs to navigate around to get to the opposite side of the islands. Should get there Saturday afternoon, if lucky in time to get through customs that night. For those with NAChart 100: we're at 31.50N 67.19W and heading 120 at this moment (bearing 106.1).

We are very ready to see land and the first one to do so gets an extra schilling. The one who picked the exact time in port gets beer and/or a spa treatment.

Tam and Dan send love to Savanah and Eric - can't wait for December too when everybody's together on this beautiful ship!!
Tony says he's barely alive (airdrop mountain dew at coordinates above) but glad Maria believes that he's really on this trip - thanks for the comments.
