Whew! The anchor is down in Bermuda. This was the longest passage the two of us have done on our own, and for the most part, it was quite pleasant. But living on a boat for the last four years has taught me that a passage can go from flawless to chaos in a split second. Thankfully, we managed to avoid total chaos, though the trip did save all its hijinks for the final stretch.

The last 24 hours have been very pleasant. Our speeds were slow through the lighter winds of the night, but as a weather front approaches, they have been consistently building. The winds are on our beam, pushing the boat effortlessly through gentle four-foot rolling swells. We are now reaching at an average of 6+ knots, and as the winds are expected to build through the rest of the day, our speeds should remain consistent for the remainder of our journey — enabling us to arrive in Bermuda sometime around lunch tomorrow.
