Distance covered from the dock at Royal Bermuda Y.C.

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
