Those of you who read The Route posted by the Capn several weeks ago will recognize his final summary – copied and pasted here:

So 18 days sailing over three weeks. We start with three days in the bank. Will they all be lost to weather? To crew? To the boat? Or will we have a day in Port aux Basque with family? A day in France?

How about ALL OF THE ABOVE ??

What we learned:

1) 3 weeks is not enough time to sail a boat from Chester to Bay Roberts without night sailing…..2) June and early July cannot possibly be the best time to do this – think our advice was wrong…..3)  Cell service is completely unpredictable as today we can blog from the middle of the Atlantic.

What we already knew:

1) The weather forecast is never that accurate……2) Newfoundland weather can change in the blink of an eye…3) Living on a boat with a set plan is a good test of the strength of a relationship 😀

Headed to St. Brides from St. Pierre 3 hours ago, but are now being advised to head to St. Lawrence due to gusting winds expected in Placentia Bay this afternoon….
