Staging for an Atlantic Crossing: A tale of Stormy Seas, Learning Patience, and Rum Swizzle #99
When we first left Bonaire to sail across the Atlantic to the Azores, we never intended on stopping anywhere on the way. But after a serious week of beating into the wind, our bodies craved a break on land (as well as a burger and a beer)
Our VHF broke as soon as we arrived in Bermuda, and we knew that stopping was the absolute right decision for us to make at this point.
We were going to spend 5 days max in Bermuda.... we failed.
This is a tale of stormy seas, learning patience, and Rum Swizzle.
