Scottish readers and perhaps the Bermuda resident that we met yesterday, who is a Runrig fan, might know the band's song, the Mighty Atlantic. We play this at full blast every time we head out into it's wild and woolly wastes. And this morning is no exception, much to the joy of the exhausted crew of the ARC Europe boat that anchored just behind us in the wee, small hours.
It's about 2000 miles from Bermuda to the Azores and with the looks of the GRIB it's an excellent forecast, fingers crossed.

The thing is, not only to we have to get to Horta and it's limited berthing before the ARC fleet but there's a Rapido 52 trimaran also leaving so, the race is on. "No pressure darling.And no thanks, I don’t think we’ll be needing a reef!”

This is our tracker.
