Helburn at Sea

Wed. Oct 24

A gray day spit of rain, 18-20 SEasterly and an irregular lumpy sea. A lot of motion and Al has it again, so I'm doing the writing while there's nothing else to do. We'd thought he had it licked and that he'd be OK this trip—no such luck.

Bermuda sank out of sight in just over two hours -it was pretty nice, pink and pastel houses, every kind of tropical green, JSR and Sue on with us for a, long weekend after we got dried out. trip around the Is.on mopeds was the printable best part of itwe had a. cottage ashore for too, so one couple on the boat and one ashore, saved crowding and privacy couldn't have been better. We met the plane on the boat-5-600 yds from the airport, toured them around some of the waterways of Bermuda, across one bay to the marine museum-we all got a kick out of that. missed the drawbridge on the way home and had to power clear round the is. of St George to get home very late Sat night on to the airport again to send them home Mon. We expected to leave Tuesday, I seem to be a lot more patient now that it's warm-a touch of "mañana" perhaps. Anyway, we didn't get off till this morning after filling all tanks and last minute groceries.
