We are one day out from Bermuda. It is dark, raining, windy, and lumpy. We are beam reaching towards the gulf stream's southern wall, and we hope to reach it tomorrow night. Jeff is searching for his sea legs, and I am on the wonder drug from Bermuda. No not Goslings but Stugeron, a motion sickness medicine available over the counter in Bermuda but not approved in the US.We are heading to Newport as Maine just looks too cold.

Jeff Kuller from Camden will be joining me tonight to sail the last leg to Camden. We hope to leave Thursday morning if all goes well. I am having trouble with the most recent blogs showing up in the usual place. They seem to be hidden down on the right hand side of the blog page. Look for "signing off", "florida's finist",and "signs of life" which describe the last part of our passage from St. Thomas to Bermuda. Somehow, the dates got messed up.

Congrzatulations on your progress. We had not had internet for many weeks and have missed your notes. I remember Lili from 15-20 years ago when she would come to the hospital with Ralph. She now has her sea legs and there will be no stopping her.
Sydney and I are just now preparing Hannah Day for storage in Colon, Panama, and return to Maine tomorrow. We'll have many stories to share over some good rum.
Our wishes for some fine weather on your last leg from Bermuda.

A quick note of thanks (and an apology). First, I'm sorry for not being as helpful as anticipated on this voyage. I know Tom wasn't expecting to sail with a mostly sea sick, post-college lost soul for a week, but that's what he got! So thank you Tom- for the sailing lessons, the gentle prodding to get me over my sea sickness, the tastey food (when I could eat it), and all the "life advice." I think that everyone should take a lesson from Tom and make sure you follow your dreams- no matter what they are or when you're finally able. I wish him and the Flash of Beauty a smooth sail for their final leg of this adventure that I feel lucky to have been a small part of. Lily
