Bermuda

Bermuda May 3-6th
The winter layers finally began to fall off as Llyr crossed the Gulf Stream and into 70 degree, light blue Caribbean waters. Like all good things, the calm seas and open ocean swimming in 17,000 ft of water came to an end and gave way to building winds and by Wednesday we were in 12 ft confused seas with wind gusts just under 30kts. The majority of the crew split their time between watch duty and being nauseous, save Luke who either had an iron stomach or was just good at acting.
Our passage to Bermuda took 6 days and when we arrived we stumbled around the docks for a couple days before we finally got our land legs back.

Bermuda is a lovely country with sparkling blue waters and white beaches that we’ve been too tired to thoroughly explore. We’ve spent a majority of the time re-provisioning and preparing for the next leg of the trip. Thankfully, our relaxed adventures have left us energetic and excited for the passage ahead! Our plan is To travel along the eastern part of the Dominican Republic and along the Mona passage, a stretch that is notorious for strong currents, the alternative however is an extra 400 miles of sailing along the southern coast of Hispaniola.
We set sail for the Dominican Republic tomorrow morning!
Until then!
The Llyr Crew
