There's not a lot to say about day 1, it started off dry and sunny and then went wet and dark (J/K).
We cleared Customs from Sopers Hole, Tortolla, BVIs and that gave us 10 days to sail across to Bermuda before the cats "get out of jail free" papers expired. Now this is easily doable when you are a larger yacht with a speed of 150+ nautical miles (nm) a day. Koru on the other hand is a 36 foot steel hulled motor sailer. She is neither a pure bred sailing yacht nor a sleek, fast gin palace aka a motor boat (well she may be a gin palace). She's a bit of a mongrel really, but she's our mongrel put together with Scrubby's blood sweat and tears (and his families forbearance). She averaged 100 nm a day which puts her slightly on the Tortoise (should that be Turtle?) side of things rather than the Hare's. You'll see what I mean once I've posted more videos.
That's all for now.
Take Care
